Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the WiFi File Transfer v1.0.8 mobile 
web-application for android.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes with persistent attack vector to 
compromise browser to web-application
requests from the application-side.

The vulnerabilities are located in the data_file parameter of the add a file or folder and create a zip file function.
Attackers with wifi access are able to anonymous use the webui and can inject own malicious script code with persistent
attack vector via post method request.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent 
external
redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application modules.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent post inject web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers in the same wifi network with 
anonymous privileges and low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the web security vulnerability in the application follow the provided 
information and steps below to continue.


Manual reproduce of the vulnerability ...
1. Install the mobile android application and start it
2. Start the wifi web-server
3. Login as attacker by the browser over the network
4. Inject payload as folder name, file name or zip file and save via post method request
5. The payload executes in the web ui when previewing the paths

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The persistent web vulnerabilities can be resolved by the following steps ...
1. Restrict the input of the folder, filename and zip files to disallow special chars for add or create process
2. Encode and escape the content of the data_file parameter to sanitize the content
3. Sanitize and filter the output locations of the explorer path listings to prevent further attacks


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent web vulnerabilities in the mobile android wifi web-application are estimated as 
medium.
