Details:
========
A persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official SuperBackup v2.0.5 ios mobile application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes with persistent attack vector to compromise the mobile
web-application from the application-side.
The cross site scripting web vulnerabilities are located in the `newPath`, `oldPath` & `filename` parameters of the vcf listing module.
Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious persistent script codes as vcf filename to the main index list. The request method to
inject is POST and the attack vector of the vulnerability is located on the application-side. The injection point is located at the vcf
filename or import. The execution point occurs in the main index list after the import or insert.
Remote attackers are able to inject own script codes to the client-side requested vulnerable web-application parameters. The attack
vector of the vulnerability is persistent and the request method to inject/execute is POST. The vulnerabilities are classic client-side
cross site scripting vulnerabilities. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing
attacks, persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application modules.
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] VCF
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] newPath (path - vcf filename)
[+] oldPath (path - vcf filename)
Proof of Concept:
=================
The cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account and with low user interaction.
