Product: VeryPhoto - iOS Web Application (WiFi) 3.0


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


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local command inject web vulnerability has been discovered in the official VeryPhoto v3.0 iOS mobile web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own commands by usage of stored manipulated system/device values to 
compromise the apple mobile iOS application.

The command inject vulnerability is located in the vulnerable `albumname` value of the `HTTP Wifi Server`. Local 
attackers 
are able to inject own malicious system specific commands or path value requests by usage of the vulnerable `albumname` 
value. 
The execution of the command occurs in the `VeryPhoto - File Dir Index Listing` of the http wifi interface application. 
Attackers are able to manipulate the local albumname values by of the iOS default photo app by rename to execute the 
commands.

The attack vector is located on the application-side and the injection requires physical device access or a local low 
privileged 
device user account. Local attackers are also able to exploit the albumname validation issue in combination with 
persistent 
injected script codes.

The security risk of the local command/path inject vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common 
vulnerability 
scoring system) count of 5.6. Exploitation of the command/path inject vulnerability requires a low privileged iOS 
device 
account with restricted access and no user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in 
unauthorized 
execution of system specific commands and unauthorized path value requests to compromise the mobile iOS application and 
the 
connected device components.


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

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Album

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] albumname

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] VeryPhoto - File Dir Index Listing (http://localhost:8080/)


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

Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Install the VeryPhoto Pro Album v3.0 iOS application 
(https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/veryphoto-pro-album-password/id720810114)
2. Open in the device menu the default photo album app of apple (iphone/ipad)
3. Add a new album and change the name to local command that should be injected
4. Save the settings and open the VeryPhoto Pro Album application
5. Start the Wifi service
6. Surf with a local network device to the local web-server (localhost:8080)
Note: The execution of the command inject occurs after the wifi interface index has been visited. The vulnerable value 
that executes the command is the albumname.
7. Successful reproduce of the local command inject web vulnerability!

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure encode and parse of the vulnerable `albumname` value.
Restrict the albumname value and disallow special charsi to prevent application-side injection attacks.
Encode in the file dir index listing the vulnerable output value to prevent the execution of local commands.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the local command inject web vulnerability in the albumname is estimated as medium. (CVSS 5.6)
