Microsoft Online Services are hosted by Microsoft and sold `with` Microsoft partners. The suite includes Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Office Communications Online, Microsoft Forefront, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting. For businesses, the Software-plus-Services approach enables organizations to access the capabilities of enterprise software through on-premises servers, as online services, or a combination of both, depending on specific business requirements. Services also provide the option to add complementary capabilities that enhance on-premises server software and simplify system management and maintenance. Outlook.com is a free web-based email service run by Microsoft. One of the world's first webmail services, it was founded in 1996 as Hotmail (stylized as HoTMaiL) by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith in Mountain View, California, and headquartered in Sunnyvale. Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft in 1997 for an estimated $400 million and launched as MSN Hotmail, later rebranded to Windows Live Hotmail as part of the Windows Live suite of products. The last version of Hotmail was released in October 2011.[As of mid-2011, Hotmail had 360 million users per month. It was available in 36 languages. In 2013, Hotmail was replaced with Outlook.com, which features Microsoft's Metro design language, and closely mimics the interface of Microsoft Outlook. It also features unlimited storage, Ajax, and integration with Calendar, OneDrive, People and Skype (Copy of the Vendor Homepage: https://microsoftonline.com ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a remote file upload web vulnerability and filter bypass in the Microsoft Outlook (365) web-application. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2018-08-08: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Microsoft Corp. Product: Microsoft Outlook - Web Application 2015 Q2 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Authentication Type: ==================== Restricted Authentication (Guest Privileges) User Interaction: ================= No User Interaction Disclosure Type: ================ Responsible Disclosure Technical Details & Description: ================================ A file include web vulnerability and filter bypass has been discovered in the official Microsoft Outlook online service web-application. The security vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate web context by an inject through an unauthorized uploaded file. The vulnerability is located in the `upload file` POST method request of the `https://dub114.afx.ms` outlook web-server. Remote attacker are able to include local files that are accepted by the service validation to trick the web-server by executing the file. The issue demonstrates a broken validation mechanism to bypass the filter and execute malicious files within the microsoft outlook web context. The issue is exploitable by attackers with low privilege application user account without user interaction. When the attacker sends the file to a victim like shown in the video. Click to the picture aaa.svg that will popup to the file (attachment poc) so the file which i want the victim to execute will redirect to it with popup in the file but the file will upload to the microsoft server. The security risk of the file include web vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.1. Exploitation of the file include web vulnerability requires a low privilege web application user account and without user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized upload of executable files through the outlook application context. Affected Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] upload file Affected Domain(s): [+] dub114.afx.ms - Outlook Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The remote session manipulation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privilege web-application user account and without user interaction.

Restrict the upload and disallow external sources. Note: The issue has been reported in 2016 Q4 and was resolved by the microsoft developer team during 2017 Q2 - Q4. The disclosure process of the vulnerability report took about 12 month. Security Risk: ============== The security risk of the arbitrary file upload web vulnerability in the microsoft outlook application is estimated as high.
