Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
A Laboratory Researcher (Chris Rock) discovered a directory traversal vulnerability on the famous Cloupia Application Framework.


Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline:
==================================
2012-01-16:	Public or Non-Public Disclosure


Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
jQuery File Tree is a configurable, AJAX file browser plugin for the jQuery javascript library utilised within the Cloupia application framework. 
Unauthenticated access to this module allows a remote attacker to browse the entire file system of the host server, beyond the 
realm of the web service itself. Cloupia are aware of this flaw and are releasing a patch to mitigate access. End users are 
urged to update immediately by contacting the vendor.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The directory traversal vulnerability can b exploited by local & remote attackers. For demonstration or reproduce ...

The following process performed as an attacker to exploit this vulnerability would be as follows. The code for the jQuery File 
Tree ‘Java-Server-Page’ file reads as follows ...

<%@ page
	import="java.io.File,java.io.FilenameFilter,java.util.Arrays"%>
<%
/**
  * jQuery File Tree JSP Connector
  * Version 1.0
  * Copyright 2008 Joshua Gould
  * 21 April 2008
*/	
    String dir = request.getParameter("dir");
    if (dir == null) {
    	return;
    }
	
	if (dir.charAt(dir.length()-1) == '\\') {
    	dir = dir.substring(0, dir.length()-1) + "/";
	} else if (dir.charAt(dir.length()-1) != '/') {
	    dir += "/";
	}
    if (new File(dir).exists()) {
		String[] files = new File(dir).list(new FilenameFilter() {
		    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
				return name.charAt(0) != '.';
		    }
		});
		Arrays.sort(files, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
		out.print("<ul class=\"jqueryFileTree\" style=\"display: none;\">");
		// All dirs
		for (String file : files) {
		    if (new File(dir, file).isDirectory()) {
				out.print("<li class=\"directory collapsed\"><a href=\"#\" rel=\"" + dir + file + "/\">"
					+ file + "</a></li>");
		    }
		}
		// All files
		for (String file : files) {
		    if (!new File(dir, file).isDirectory()) {
				int dotIndex = file.lastIndexOf('.');
				String ext = dotIndex > 0 ? file.substring(dotIndex + 1) : "";
				out.print("<li class=\"file ext_" + ext + "\"><a href=\"#\" rel=\"" + dir + file + "\">"
					+ file + "</a></li>");
		    	}
		}
		out.print("</ul>");
    }
%>


By using the ‘dir’ variable in an HTTP POST request, along with the desired file path, the directory structure is returned in XML format.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the directory traversal web vulnerability is estimated as high(+).
