Discussion

TeamShare TeamTrack Directory Traversal Vulnerability

TeamTrack 3.00 has a built-in webserver which is meant to be used during the evaluation period, or until IIS or Netscape Enterprise/FastTrack is installed. This server does not filter out requested paths containing the ../ sequence. Because of this, an attacker can specify a file outside of the normal web file structure. The name and relative path (from the web root) of the file must be known by the attacker.

Exploit / POC

Solution / Fix

TeamShare TeamTrack Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Solution:
Currently the SecurityFocus staff are not aware of any vendor supplied patches for this issue. If you feel we are in error or are aware of more recent information, please mail us at: [email protected].

This issue has been resolved in TeamTrack 4.0, which should be available as of January 2000.

It is possible and recommended by TeamShare to use IIS or FastTrack servers with TeamTrack 3.0 instead of the built-in server. Instructions are provided on the TeamShare website, at: http://www.teamtrack.com/support/kbase/ReadmeSP4.txt (requires username and password)

The following is quoted verbatim from an email to Security Focus from TeamShare:

"...customers and evaluators of the TeamTrack software can check to ensure that the TeamTrack Web Server is not running by disabling the TeamTrack Web Server service in Windows NT, and uninstalling the software from any Windows 95 or 98 computers not currently evaluating the software. Evaluations on all platforms can be performed using the Microsoft Personal Web Server, freely downloadable and without risk of this type of attack - instructions can be found in all readme files provided with the TeamTrack software.
Please feel free to have customers contact our support department at <[email protected]> with any followup."
