Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
Ubiquiti Network
Product: Ubnt Community - Web Application (Online Service) 2015 Q2


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
An application-side web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Ubiquiti Networks \
Community online service web-application. The vulnerability allows an remote attacker to inject \
own script code to the application-side of the affected application module.

The web vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `gallery page album upload` \
module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files  with malicious `filename` value in the \
`album upload` POST method request to compromise the ubnt web-application. Remote attackers are \
also able  to exploit the filename issue in combination with persistent injected script codes \
to execute different malicious attack requests. The attack vector  is located on the \
application-side of the ubnt service and the request method to inject is POST. 

The security risk of the application-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss \
(common vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.2.  Exploitation of the application-side \
validation web vulnerability requires no user interaction and only a low privileged \
web-application user account.  Successful exploitation of the security vulnerability results in \
the ubnt community web-application compromise.

Request Method(s):
				[+] [POST]

Vulnerable Module(s):
				[+] gallerypage (upload)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
				[+] filename (Album)

Affected Module(s):
				[+] confirmationpage


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged application user \
account and with low user interaction.  For security demonstration or to reproduce the \
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Open link http://community.ubnt.com/t5/media/gallerypage
2. Click add images
3. Upload image with name "><img src="x" onerror=alert(document.cookie)>.png
4. Click selact an album and save
5. Post comment
6. Click selete the comment you will redirect to \
http://community.ubnt.com/t5/action/confirmationpage 7. Now you will see the alert with the \

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable filename value \
in the album add module. Restrict the input and encode the filename to prevent further script \
code injection attack that runs through the application-side. Disallow special chars and \
implement a secure exception to prevent the execution itself.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the application-side album filename input validation web vulnerability is \
estimated as medium. (CVSS 4.2)
