Description
Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid's Webbox application is vulnerable to arbitrary file write, allowing an
unauthenticated attacker to create or write into existing files on the
server with attacker-controlled content. This is possible because user
input is written directly to files without proper validation or
restriction on file types. As a result, an attacker can create files
(e.g., .htm), containing malicious JavaScript code. When a user accesses
a file created in this way, stored cross-site scripting is triggered. This issue affects TeamDavid through Rollout 524.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can send input that the TeamDavid Webbox application writes directly to server files without any validation or restriction on file names or extensions. As a result the attacker can create or overwrite files such as .htm with malicious JavaScript. When a user later loads one of these files, the browser executes the injected script, producing a stored cross‑site scripting condition that can be used to hijack the victim’s session, deface the site or perform other client‑side attacks. The impact is limited to the scope of the compromised user’s browser but can be as severe as full account takeover.

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in Tobit Laboratories AG’s TeamDavid Webbox application through Rollout 524. The vulnerability resides in the file‑write handling code of the Webbox component, which does not enforce file‑type restrictions or content validation for user‑supplied paths.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 classifies the issue as high severity. Because EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, there is no evidence of current exploitation but a significant theoretical risk remains. The likely attack vector is inferred to be network‑based: any unauthenticated user who can reach the web interface can trigger the file write and subsequent XSS. Network access to the exposed service is sufficient to supply the malicious input, and no privileged access or additional exploits are required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update TeamDavid Webbox to Rollout 525 or newer once the vendor releases a patch that validates file paths and enforces allowed file types.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable or remove the option that allows arbitrary file writes through the web interface so that no user can create or overwrite files on the server.
  • Implement input validation so that only safe file names and extensions are accepted; explicitly reject or reject .htm, .html, .js, and other executable script types.
  • Deploy a web‑application firewall rule that blocks requests containing the strings ".htm" or ".js" in user‑supplied path parameters to prevent malicious file creation.
  • Add a Content Security Policy that disallows inline script execution to mitigate any residual XSS risk.
