Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered an application-side validation web vulnerability in the official 
Oracle Business 
Intelligence Mobile HD v11.1.1.7.0.2420 iOS web-application.

The vulnerability is located in the input field of the dasboard file export name value of the local save (lokal 
speichern) function.
After the injection of a system specific command to the input field of the dasboard name the attacker is able to use 
the email function.
By clicking the email button the script code gets wrong encoded even if the attachment function is activated for pdf 
only. The wrong 
encoded input of the lokal save in the mimeAttachmentHeaderName (mimeAttachmentHeader) allows a local attacker to 
inject persistent 
system specific codes to compromise the integrity of the oracle ib email function. 

In case of the scenario the issue get first correct encoded on input and the reverse encoded inside allows to 
manipulate the mail context.
Regular the function is in use to get the status notification mail with attached pdf or html file. For the tesings the 
pdf value was 
activated and without html.

The security risk of the filter bypass and application-side input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium 
with a cvss (common 
vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.8. Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privilege 
web application user 
account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent 
phishing, persistent 
external redirects, persistent load of malicous script codes or persistent web module context manipulation.

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Lokal speichern - Local save

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] mimeAttachmentHeaderName (mimeAttachmentHeader)

Affected Service(s):
                                [+] Email - Local Dasboard File


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The application-side vulnerability can be exploited by local privilege application user accounts with low user 
interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below 
to continue.

Manual reproduce of the vulnerability ...
1. Install the oracle business intelligence mobile hd ios app to your apple device 
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oracle-business-intelligence/id534035015)
2. Register to your server service to get access to the client functions
2. Click the dashboard button to access
3. Now, we push top right in the navigation the local save (lokal speichern) button
4. Inject system specific payload with script code to the lokal save dashboard filename input field
5. Switch back to the app index and open the saved dashboard that as been saved locally with the payload 
(mimeAttachmentHeaderName)
6. Push in the top right navigation the email button
7. The mail client opens with the wrong encoded payload inside of the mail with the template of the dashboard
8. Successful reproduce of the security vulnerability!

PoC: Email - Local Dasboard File
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; ">
<div>"><[PERSISTENT INJECTED SCRIPT CODE!]"></x></div><div><br><br></div><br>
<fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"><legend class="mimeAttachmentHeaderName">"><"x">%20<[PERSISTENT INJECTED SCRIPT 
CODE!]>.html</legend></fieldset><br>


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure restriction and filter validation of the local dashboard file save module.
Encode the input fields and parse the ouput next to reverse converting the context of the application through the mail 
function.
The issue is not located in the apple device configuration because of the validation of the mimeAttachmentHeaderName in 
connection with the email function is broken.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the application-side input validation web vulnerability in the oracle mobile application is 
estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.8)
