Affected Product(s):
====================
Haixia Liu
Product: PhotoSync Wifi&Bluetooth - iOS Mobile Web Application 1.0


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official PhotoSync Wifi&Bluetooth 1.0 iOS mobile application.
The local file include web vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized include local file/path requests or system specific 
path commands to compromise the mobile web-application.

The web vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files with 
malicious `filename` values in the `upload` POST method request to compromise the mobile web-application. The local file/path include 
execution occcurs in the index `file list` context next to the vulnerable `filename` item value. The attacker is able to inject the 
local malicious file request by usage of the available `wifi interface` (http://localhost:8000/) upload form.

Remote attackers are also able to exploit the filename validation issue in combination with persistent injected script codes to execute 
different local malicious attacks requests. The attack vector is on the application-side of the wifi service and the request method to 
inject is POST. 

The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count 
of 6.8. Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account or user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability results in mobile application or connected device component compromise.


Request Method(s):
				[+] [POST]

Vulnerable Service(s):
				[+] PhotoSync Wifi&Bluetooth 1.0

Vulnerable Module(s):
				[+] upload

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
				[+] filename

Affected Module(s):
				[+] PhotoSync Images Dir Listing (http://localhost:8000/)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local file include web vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers without privileged application user account and 
without user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The file include web vulnerability can be patched by a secure encode of the vulnerable file name value. Encode and filter also the vulnerable output in 
the images dir index listing file. Restrict the filename value input and filter the requests to prevent against further local file include attacks 
against the main directory listing service.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability in the upload module of the mobile application is estimated as high.
