Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
An information disclosure web vulnerability has been discovered in the  
official File Explorer v1.4 mobile ios web-application.  
  
The local file explorer application can be protected with a local pin.  
Any time the user opens the app, the pin is required  
for the auth to access to private file explorer data. The protection  
form is attached to process after the main form with  
for example the list in the local application context. Normally the pin  
must popup ahead to the local file index but in this  
case is processed afterwards. Thus allows a local attacker with physical  
ios device access to bypass the security mechanism  
to preview files (names, size & co) and access the protected data.  
  
Successful exploitation of the local information disclosure application  
vulnerability results in unauthorized data access.  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The information disclosure vulnerability can be exploited by local  
attackers with physical device access without user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the  
provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
  
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...  
1. Install the local application  
2. Open the settings and setup a pin to protect  
3. Move to the local web-server via wifi and start it  
4. Upload some files for the index dir listing to preview  
5. Close the app and open it back by restart  
Note: Now the pin should appear  
6. Push a folder path or file that becomes visible and hold it  
7. Push home again  
8. Way free to edit and preview the files  
9. Successful reproduce of the local vulnerability!  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
The security risk of the information disclosure vulnerability in the  
web-application is estimated as high.
