  • Description:
    ####################
    Web Wiz Rich Text Editor (RTE) is a free WYSIWYG HTML Rich Text Editor
    that replaces standard textarea's with an advanced Word style HTMLarea.

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

  • Vulnerability:
    ####################
    Input passed to the FolderName parameter in "RTE_file_browser.asp" is
    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.
    Moreover, by using "RTE_popup_save_file.asp" attacker can make his/her
    HTML or HTM file on the server, so this can be used in XSS attacks or
    making fake pages.

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

  • Fast Solution :
    ####################
    1- You can see below lines in "RTE_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)
2- Rename "RTE_popup_save_file.asp" till main solution by vendor
