Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Here is a creative way to record an idea, a page in a book or newspapers, what you learned, even a travel memory. You can get content from camera, 
image or text editor, then pick them up into a pdf file and compose them as you wish. You can order the pages in project, then save the project 
and open it again when you want to add or change it. You can get pdfs via WIFI or read them in this app.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local file include web vulnerability has been discovered in the official PDF Album  v1.7 iOS mobile web-application. The local file include 
web vulnerability allows remote attackers to unauthorized include local file/path requests or system specific path commands to compromise 
the mobile web-application.

The web vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own files with malicious 
`filename` values in the `upload` POST method request to compromise the mobile web-application. The local file/path include execution occcurs 
in the `pdf album index item` list context. The attacker can inject the local file include request by usage of the `wifi interface` or by a local 
privileged application user account via `folder sync`.

Attackers are also able to exploit the filename validation issue in combination with persistent injected script codes to execute different 
local malicious attacks requests. The attack vector is on the application-side of the wifi service and the request method to inject is POST. The security 
risk of the local file include web vulnerability is estimated as high(+) with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.8(+)|(-)6.9.

Exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability requires no user interaction but a privileged web-application user account with low user auth. 
Successful exploitation of the local file include web vulnerability results in mobile application or connected device component compromise.

Request Method(s):
				[+] [POST] - Remote
				[+] [SYNC] - Local

Vulnerable Module(s):
				[+] Browse File > Upload

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
				[+] filename.*.pdf

Affected Module(s):
				[+] PDF Album - Index Item Listing (http://localhost:8808/)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local file include web vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with low privileged user account without required user interaction.
