MagicFlow Local File Inclusion Scanner

MagicFlow is widely employed as a business process automation software used in various industries to optimize organizational workflows. Its versatility allows a range of users from tech enthusiasts to enterprise-level IT departments to streamline complex processes seamlessly. The software integrates with multiple digital platforms, ensuring reliable data exchange across different systems. Businesses rely on MagicFlow to enhance productivity, efficiency, and accuracy in their operations. Typically deployed in server environments, it serves as a critical component for several mission-critical applications. Additionally, its scalability lends itself to both small and large-scale organizational settings.

The Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability present in MagicFlow is a severe security flaw that can allow adversaries unauthorized access to sensitive files. LFI arises when the application erroneously can include files on a server using the path or filename specified in a request. This vulnerability enables attackers to exploit improper handling of user input and can lead to the disclosure of critical system information. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous as unauthenticated users from the internet can leverage it remotely. If not addressed, it can act as an entry point for further attacks. Immediate attention is warranted to prevent security breaches associated with LFI.

In MagicFlow, the vulnerability is detected at the '/msa/main.xp' endpoint, specifically through the misuse of the 'Fun' parameter which points towards a directory traversal flaw. The endpoint can be manipulated to traverse directories back to access local files such as '/etc/passwd'. Due to this misconfiguration, an attacker can craft a request that embeds this path traversal, enabling local file inclusion. The endpoint fails to sanitize or validate the inputs, thus, exposing sensitive files stored on the server. The vulnerability impacts the server's ability to segregate user data properly, resulting in potential data leaks.

If exploited, the LFI vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of potentially critical server data, including configuration files, password files, or other sensitive files. Attackers could leverage this information to escalate their privileges within the system. Furthermore, the LFI vulnerability can potentially pave the way for further attacks like Remote Code Execution. This could severely impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's resources. The misuse of the LFI vulnerability can result in significant damage such as data theft, unauthorized system access, and information disclosure.
