Affected Product(s): ==================== Dropouts Technologies LLP Product: Super Backup v2.0.5 Report-Timeline: ================ 2020-04-30: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Status: ======== Published Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= High Details: ======== A directory traversal web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Super Backup v2.0.5 ios mobile web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to change the application path in performed requests to compromise the local application or file-system of a mobile device. Attackers are for example able to request environment variables or a sensitive system path. The directory-traversal web vulnerability in the app is located in the `list` and `download` module with the `path` parameter. Attackers are able to change the path variable to request the local list command. By changing the path parameter the validation mechanism runs into a logic error that turns back the possibility to request different pathes outside the basic import/export folder. Thus way the attacker injects for example local path environment varibales to compromise the local ios web-application. Exploitation of the directory traversal web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account or user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information leaking by unauthorized file access and mobile application compromise. Proof of Concept: ================= The directory traversal vulnerability can be exploited by attackers with access to the wifi interface in a local network without user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
