Seeyon is a widely used collaboration and office management software. It is designed for enterprises to streamline communication and document management processes. Organizations use Seeyon to enhance teamwork by providing tools such as email, calendaring, and document sharing. It is typically implemented within corporate networks where it aids in centralizing work processes. The software is popular for its customizable features that support various business needs. It is deployed in industries that require a high level of collaboration and office automation.
Local File Inclusion (LFI) is a vulnerability that can surface in web applications. It allows an attacker to include files on a server through the web browser. The LFI vulnerability can lead to sensitive file access and sometimes even code execution. Attackers exploit this flaw by manipulating input to reference unauthorized files. The main concern with LFI is unauthorized access to sensitive files and possible system compromise. It is crucial to sanitize inputs to prevent such vulnerabilties.
The identified vulnerability in Seeyon pertains to a Local File Inclusion (LFI) weakness. The vulnerable endpoint in this instance is associated with the 'webmail.do' function linked to file handling on the server. Parameters like 'filename' and 'filePath' are not properly sanitized, allowing unauthorized file access. Specifically, the request path ‘doDownloadAtt’ is exploited to access critical configuration files. Successful exploitation involves crafting a request to download sensitive property files. The presence of certain keywords in the response confirms the vulnerability.
Exploiting this vulnerability could have severe consequences. Attackers could gain access to configuration files revealing sensitive information like database credentials. This could result in unauthorized database access and potentially data exposure. The system’s operational integrity could be compromised, leading to exploitation for further attacks. If left unaddressed, this could eventually lead to unauthorized control over the affected system. Appropriately mitigating such vulnerabilities is essential to prevent data breaches and secure enterprise environments.
