Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Here is a creative way to record an idea, a page in a book or newspapers, what you learned, even a travel memory. You can get content from camera,
image or text editor, then pick them up into a pdf file and compose them as you wish. You can order the pages in project, then save the project
and open it again when you want to add or change it. You can get pdfs via WIFI or read them in this app.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official PDF Album v1.7 iOS mobile web-application. The local file include
web vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized include local file/path requests or system specific path commands to compromise
the mobile web-application.
The web vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files with malicious
`filename` values in the `upload` POST method request to compromise the mobile web-application. The local file/path include execution occcurs
in the `pdf album index item` list context. The attacker can inject the local file include request by usage of the `wifi interface` or by a local
privileged application user account via `folder sync`.
Attackers are also able to exploit the filename validation issue in combination with persistent injected script codes to execute different
local malicious attacks requests. The attack vector is on the application-side of the wifi service and the request method to inject is POST. The security
risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high(+) with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.8(+)|(-)6.9.
Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no user interaction but a privileged web-application user account with low user auth.
Successful exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability results in mobile application or connected device component compromise.
Request Method(s):
[+] [POST] - Remote
[+] [SYNC] - Local
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Browse File > Upload
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] filename.*.pdf
Affected Module(s):

Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local file include web vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with low privileged user account without required user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and restriction of the vulnerable filename value in the upload POST method request.
Encode and filter also the output name value for item list to prevent application-side executions and malicious injected context via POST method.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the local file include web vulnerability in the mobile application is estimated as high.
