Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local directory traversal web vulnerability has been dsicovered in the official FileBug v1.5.1 iOS mobile application.
The security vulnerability allows a local attacker to unauthorized request local files and device system paths.
The issue is located in the filename to path/folder value validation of the wifi interface web-application. The vulnerability
allows a local attackers to inject via filename value in the app by a sync unauthorized local path requests to compromise the
local ios device. The vulnerability is only exploitable by a local app sync without user interaction. The attacker can include
in the app a file or a folder with the local path value to request. After the attacker opened the application context the service
executes the payload in the item dir list of the wifi interface.
The security risk of the local path traversal web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring
system) count of 5.1. Exploitation of the directory traversal web vulnerability requires no privileged application user account
(passwd default blank) or user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in mobile application compromise
by unauthorized file/path access.
Request Method(s):
[+] Sync
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Add File
[+] Add Folder
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] filename
[+] foldername
Affected Module(s):
[+] Files from FileBug - Wifi File Manager & Interface
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local path traversal web vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with low privileged application user account without user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure encode of the filename and foldername after the sync during the add procedure.
Restrict the input of the filename and foldername to prevent the issue and restrict the path folder request to ensure.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability in the filename and foldername values by sync is estimated as medium.
