Technical Details & Description:
================================
A directory traversal web vulnerability has been dsicovered in the official Album Lock v4.0 iOS mobile web-application.
The issue allows an attackers to unauthorized request and download local application files by manipulation of path parameters.
The directory traversal web vulnerability is located in the `filePaht` parameter of the wifi web-server interface. Remote attackers
are able to request the local web-server during the sharing process to access unauthenticated application files. Attackers are able
to request via `getObject` image path variables to access or download files. Remote attackers are able to access the root `document`
path of the application. The request method to execute is GET and the attack vector is located on the client-side of the web-server
web-application. Finally an attacker is able to access with the credentials the service by using a client via http protocol.
The security risk of the directory traversal vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 7.2.
Exploitation of the web vulnerability requires no privilege web-application user account or user interaction. Successful exploitation of the
vulnerability results in information leaking, mobile application compromise by unauthorized and unauthenticated access.
Request Method(s):
[+] GET
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] getObject
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] filePaht
Affected Module(s):
[+] Web-Server File System
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The security vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction or privilege web-application user account.

The vulnerability can be patch by disallowing the filepaht parameter to request upper local paths outside the document folder.
Include a whitelist of allowed requested path and setup a secure exception to prevent on exploitation.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability in the mobile application is estimated as high. (CVSS 7.2)
