The Panmicro E-Mobile System is a platform used by businesses for enhancing mobile connectivity and facilitating communication. It is employed in several business environments to manage mobile workforces and automate processes, providing an interface that integrates with enterprise systems. Utilized predominantly by IT departments, the system aids in managing mobile data and applications efficiently. It serves as a tool for increasing operational efficiency and workflow automation. The system sees widespread use in industries requiring robust mobile workforce management, including logistics, sales, and field services.
The Arbitrary File Read vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access restricted files on a server. Exploiting this vulnerability can expose sensitive information such as configuration files and system files to attackers. This vulnerability is critical because it compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the system. An adversary can exploit these flaws to extract credential information, which might lead to further actions like privilege escalation or unauthorized access. Arbitrary file reads can potentially lead to data breaches and other severe security ramifications.
Technically, the vulnerability exists within the client/cdnfile interface of the Panmicro E-Mobile System. Attackers can manipulate input to access files arbitrarily by targeting specific paths such as '/client/cdnfile/1C/Windows/win.ini' or '/client/cdnfile/C/etc/passwd'. The vulnerable endpoints allow for file information retrieval without authorization. The mechanism fails to restrict invalid access, leading to exposure of file contents. Response headers and status codes are manipulated to exploit this flaw further, confirming successful breaches in controlled environments.
The exploitation of such vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized data leakage and potential compromise of the entire system. It might allow attackers to read configuration files containing sensitive information like database credentials. This could then enable other attacks such as SQL Injection or remote code execution using the acquired knowledge. The system's operational integrity might get impacted, leading to service disruptions or denial of data integrity and confidentiality.
