How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of the FileManager API endpoints in Innoshop that do not properly handle user-supplied input, allowing a directory traversal attack. An authenticated attacker with access to the admin panel can leverage this to map the filesystem structure, create, read, delete, and move arbitrary files on the server. This could possibly lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of system functionality, or even a full system takeover.

Conceptual Example Code

An example of how the vulnerability might be exploited is shown below. This is a sample HTTP request to the /api/file_manager/files endpoint, which abuses the directory traversal flaw to read an arbitrary file from the server:

GET /api/file_manager/files?base_folder=../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <admin_auth_token>

In this example, the attacker is attempting to read the “/etc/passwd” file, which could potentially contain sensitive information.

Mitigation

Organizations are strongly advised to apply the vendor-released patch to address this vulnerability. In the absence of a patch, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. They should also consider implementing least privilege principles to limit the potential impact of a breach.
