Advisory: Directory Traversal in DevExpress ASP.NET File Manager

 

During a penetration test RedTeam Pentesting discovered a directory

traversal vulnerability in DevExpress' ASP.NET File Manager and File

Upload. Attackers are able to read arbitrary files by specifying a

relative path.

 

Details

=======

 

Product: DevExpress ASPxFileManager Control for WebForms and MVC

Affected Versions: DevExpress ASPxFileManager v10.2 to v13.2.8

Fixed Versions: DevExpress ASPxFileManager v13.2.9

Vulnerability Type: Directory Traversal

Security Risk: high

Vendor URL:

    https://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/ASP/File-Upload-Explorer/

Vendor Status: fixed version released

Advisory URL: https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/advisories/rt-sa-2014-006

Advisory Status: published

CVE: CVE-2014-2575

CVE URL: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-2575

 

 

Introduction

============

 

"The DevExpress ASP.NET Subscription includes a standalone Multi-File

Upload Manager for WebForms and MVC and a pre-built File Manager for

WebForms; built so you can instantly introduce file management

capabilities in your next web application."

 

(from DevExpress' Homepage)

 

 

More Details

============

 

The ASPX File Manager component is prone to a directory traversal

vulnerability. Attackers with access to the File Manager component can

read arbitrary files on the same partition as the shared directory.

 

A common request to download a file via the File Manager component

requires multiple HTTP-Post parameters:

 

__EVENTTARGET=ctl00%24ContentPlaceHolder1%24ASPxFileManager1

__EVENTARGUMENT=13%7C<file.ext>

__EVENTVALID=

 

The parameter __EVENTARGUMENT=13|<file.ext> specifies a file download

and the file which is to be downloaded. Attackers may also request files

outside of the shared directory by prepending a relative path to a

parent directory.

 

 

Proof of Concept

================

 

By requesting files with a relative path, files otherwise not available

will be accessible through the File Manager component.  Depending on the

shared directory and the webserver configuration, the webserver

configuration file might for example be accessible through the File

Manager component:

 

__EVENTARGUMENT=13|../../web.config

 

Other sensitive operating system files could be affected, too.

 

Example exploit:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

curl --data __EVENTTARGET=ctl00%24ContentPlaceHolder1%24ASPxFileManager1\

"&__EVENTARGUMENT=13%7C../../web.config&=&__EVENTVALID" \

http://example.com/FileManagerComponent.aspx

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The request above will download the specified file.

 

 

Workaround

==========

 

Instead of a physical file system provider, a database file system

provider with limited access permissions could be used.

 

 

Fix

===

 

Update ASPxFileManager control to DevExpress libraries version v13.2.9.

 

 

Security Risk

=============

 

The risk is estimated to be high. This vulnerability allows attackers to

access arbitrary files on the same partition as the File Manager's root

directory. This may allow attackers to read sensitive information like

the webserver configuration.
