Affected packages
• npm @saltcorn/server: < 1.0.0-beta.14 → fixed in 1.0.0-beta.14
Description
Summary
A user with admin permission can read arbitrary file and directory names on the filesystem by calling the `admin/build-mobile-app/result?build_dir_name=` endpoint. The `build_dir_name` parameter is not properly validated and it's then used to construct the `buildDir` that is read. The file/directory names under the `buildDir` will be returned.
Details
• file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.13/packages/server/routes/admin.js#L2884-L2893
```js
router.get(
"/build-mobile-app/result",
isAdmin,
error_catcher(async (req, res) => {
const { build_dir_name } = req.query; // [1] source
const rootFolder = await File.rootFolder();
const buildDir = path.join(
rootFolder.location,
"mobile_app",
build_dir_name // [2]
);
const files = await Promise.all(
fs
.readdirSync(buildDir) // [3] sink
.map(async (outFile) => await File.from_file_on_disk(outFile, buildDir))
);
[...]
})
);
```
PoC
• log into the application as an admin user
• visit the following url: `http://localhost:3000/admin/build-mobile-app/result?build_dir_name=/../../../../../../../../`
NOTE: it's possible to only see file and directory names but not to download their content.
Impact
Information disclosure
Recommended Mitigation
Resolve the `buildDir` and check if it starts with `${rootFolder.location}/mobile_app`.
