Technical Details & Description:
================================
A directory traversal web vulnerability has been discovered in the official File Transfer iFamily v2.1 ios mobile application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to change the application path in performed requests to compromise the local application 
or file-system of a mobile device. Attackers are for example able to request environment variables or a sensitive system path.

The directory-traversal web vulnerability is located in the main application path request performed via GET method. Attackers are 
able to request for example the local ./etc/ path of the web-server by changing the local path in the performed request itself.
In a first request the attack changes the path, the host redirects to complete the adress with "..". Then the attacker just 
attaches a final slash to its request and the path can be accessed via web-browser to download local files.

Exploitation of the directory traversal web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account or user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information leaking by unauthorized file access and mobile application compromise.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The directory traversal vulnerability can be exploited by attackers with access to the wifi interface in a local network without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a restriction of the visible and accessable ./etc/ path in the app container.
Disallow path changes in the client-side get method requests and validate them securely.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the directory travsersal web vulnerability in the ios mobile application is estimated as high.
