  • Description:
    ####################
    Web Wiz Forums bulletin board system is the ideal forum package for
    your website's community.

####################

  • Vulnerability:
    ####################
    Input passed to the FolderName parameter in "RTE_file_browser.asp" and
    "file_browser.asp" are not properly sanitised before being used. This
    can be exploited to list directories, list txt and list zip files
    through directory traversal attacks.
    Also, "RTE_file_browser.asp" does not check user's session and an
    unauthenticated attacker can perform this attack.

-POC:
http://[WebWiz Forum]/RTE_file_browser.asp?look=&sub=\…\\\…\\\…\\\

  • Fast Solution :
    ####################
    You can see below lines in "RTE_file_browser.asp" and "file_browser.asp"

      'Stip path tampering for security reasons
      strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "../", "", 1, -1, 1)
      strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "..\", "", 1, -1, 1)
      strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "./", "", 1, -1, 1)
      strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, ".\", "", 1, -1, 1)
    

Only add this to them:
strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "/", "\", 1, -1, 1)
strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "\\", "\", 1, -1, 1)
strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "…", "", 1, -1, 1)
