Portcullis Security Advisory

Vulnerable System: 

MediaPartner 5.0

Vulnerability Title:  

Directory Traversal Vulnerability and Cross Site Scripting Issue

Vulnerability discovery and development: 

Portcullis Security Testing Service

Affected systems: 

Emotion MediaPartner Web Server Version 5.0 (5.1 not confirmed)

Details:

The MediaPartner 5.0 web-server is vulnerable to directory
traversal.  By specifying an HTTP request containing the string
'../' an attacker can gain access to files outside of the intended
web-published file system directory.

The directory-browsing page generated by the directory traversal
vulnerability is vulnerable to URL cross-site scripting
vulnerability.

Impact:

This allows an attacker to gain access to any file on the drive the
web-published file system is installed to.

An attacker can craft a URL that contains malicious code.  When a
victim follows the URL the malicious code is executed by their
browser.

Exploit:

No exploit Code required. Examples: http://target_ip/../../../boot.ini
http://target_ip/../../<script>alert(.portcullis.)</script>../../
