Synopsis
Arbitrary File Read in DVDFab 12 Player / PlayerFab
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (7.5/7.3)
The DVDFab 12 suite contains an application called DVDFab Player (or, as it has very recently been renamed, "PlayerFab"), which serves a browseable media library over HTTP on port 32080. If the client opts to download the debuging log, the HTML user interface will issue a request that specifies the path to the log file. This path can easily be changed by the user either by tampering with the browser's request, or by issuing an HTTP GET request that directly specifies the name of the desired file.
Proof of Concept
In place of C%3a%2fwindows%2fsystem.ini, the attacker may supply any other URL-encoded path to a file on the system for which the user running the DVDFab Player / PlayerFab application has read access.
$ curl "http://10.3.2.104:32080/download/C%3a%2fwindows%2fsystem.ini"
