Security vulnerabilities

Summary:
Deleting accounts without proper credentials or verification can lead to unauthorized access, data loss, account takeovers, compliance violations, and legal penalties. It can also disrupt services, damage reputation, create audit gaps, increase fraud risks, and burden customer support. Proper security measures and verification processes are essential to prevent these issues.

Weakness: Improper Authorization and Broken Authentication (CWE-285)
Severity: High

Steps to Reproduce: -
1. Log in to your https://admin.alwaysdata.com/login/.
2. click on account profile.
3. Choose the "Delete this profile" option and there by click on submit .
4. Notice that there is no password confirmation required to proceed with the account deletion.
5. Confirm the account deletion request the account will be deleted without requiring the user to enter their password.

impact:
Deleting an account without a password or proper verification can have several serious consequences. Unauthorized deletions may result in legitimate users losing access to important data, files, or services, which can be difficult or impossible to recover. Data loss can be catastrophic for both individuals and organizations, especially if the account contained sensitive information or intellectual property. Additionally, if an attacker gains control and deletes the account, this could lead to account takeovers or impersonation attempts.

Summary:
An accessible phpinfo page at https://net2ftp.alwaysdata.com/skins/php.php discloses detailed configuration information about the PHP environment. This information can be leveraged by attackers to identify potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software components.

Details:

PHP Version: 5.6.40
System Information:
Operating System: Linux (kernel version 6.6.30-alwaysdata)
Server API: CGI/FastCGI
Configuration Exposure:
Paths to configuration files (php.ini) and directories
Enabled/disabled PHP functions and security settings (e.g., disable_functions, open_basedir)
Loaded extensions and their versions
Environment details such as server API and build dates
Steps to Reproduce:
Navigate to the URL: https://net2ftp.alwaysdata.com/skins/php.php Observe that the page displays comprehensive PHP configuration details.
Impact:
Information Disclosure: The exposed details provide attackers with insights into the server configuration, which could be used to tailor further attacks.
Risk of Exploitation:
-Identification of outdated software (PHP 5.6.40 is no longer supported and may have known vulnerabilities).
-Knowledge of disabled functions and active extensions can assist in formulating targeted exploitation strategies (e.g., leveraging known vulnerabilities in specific extensions or misconfigurations).
-Potential Follow-on Attacks: While phpinfo itself is not a direct vulnerability, the information disclosed could aid in other attacks, such as Local File Inclusion (LFI) or Remote Code Execution (RCE), if combined with other weaknesses.
Severity:
Risk Level: High the server also runs outdated or unpatched components and the phpinfo page is publicly accessible without any authentication or access control.
Recommendations:
-Restrict Access:
Remove or restrict access to the phpinfo page from the public internet. Consider using authentication or IP whitelisting if the page is needed for internal diagnostics.
-Update PHP:
Upgrade to a supported and secure version of PHP to mitigate potential exploits that target known vulnerabilities in PHP 5.6.40.
-Harden Configuration:
Ensure that sensitive functions (e.g., exec(), shell_exec()) are disabled if not necessary.
Review and adjust settings such as open_basedir to limit access to the file system.

Vulnerability Type:

Session Management Issue

Email Account Takeover

User Data Exposure

Severity: P1 (Critical)

This vulnerability allows an attacker to retain a valid session even after a subdomain is deleted or transferred to another user, enabling them to:

Read all incoming emails of the new user.

Send emails on behalf of the new user.

Modify email settings, such as forwarding rules and signatures.

—

Description:

The Alwaysdata platform allows users to create subdomains under alwaysdata.net for hosting websites and managing emails via webmail.alwaysdata.com. However, a critical session management flaw enables an attacker to retain an active session even after deleting or transferring the subdomain to a new user.

—

Scenario 1: Subdomain Reuse

Steps to Reproduce:

1. The attacker creates a subdomain (e.g., attacker.alwaysdata.net).

2. The attacker logs into webmail.alwaysdata.com and keeps the session active.

3. The attacker deletes the subdomain from their account.

4. A new user registers the same subdomain (attacker.alwaysdata.net).

5. The new user logs into webmail.alwaysdata.com.

6. The attacker retains a valid session, allowing them to:

Read all incoming emails of the new user.

Send emails on behalf of the new user.

Modify email settings (forwarding, signature, etc.).

7. The new user may encounter session-related errors, such as:
"Server Error: CREATE: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information."

—

Scenario 2: Subdomain Ownership Transfer

Steps to Reproduce:

1. The attacker creates a subdomain (e.g., attacker.alwaysdata.net).

2. The attacker logs into webmail.alwaysdata.com and keeps the session active.

3. Instead of deleting the subdomain, the attacker transfers ownership to another user via admin.alwaysdata.com.

4. The new user accepts the transfer and starts using the subdomain.

5. The attacker retains an active session, allowing them to:

Read and send emails on behalf of the new user.

Modify email settings.

Access the email account until the session expires.

6. Even if the new user changes their email password via admin.alwaysdata.com, the attacker still has access due to the active session.

—

Impact:

Sensitive Data Exposure: The attacker can read incoming emails.

Identity Theft: The attacker can send emails on behalf of the new user.

Account Compromise: The attacker can modify email settings to maintain access.

Mass Exploitation: The attacker can create and delete multiple subdomains to target many future users.

##POC: https://admin.alwaysdata.com/support/84903/

—

Recommended Fixes:

Terminate all active sessions immediately upon subdomain deletion or transfer.

Link sessions to the user account instead of just the subdomain.

Warn the new user if there was an existing open session for the same subdomain.

Enforce re-authentication when transferring subdomain ownership.

Add an additional verification layer for email-related sessions when ownership changes.

This vulnerability poses a severe risk to user privacy and requires an urgent fix to prevent unauthorized access to email accounts.

Fix Them

I have protected your company and saved it from a big loss so give me some appreciation Bounty Reward.

I am sharing my PayPal ID with you.
Paypal ID: trilokdhaked12345678@gmail.com

there is ability to enumerate email address of users through
admin.alwaysdata.com/password/lost/
if i enter a registered email it will display that email has sent
but if the mail in snot registered it will say
The form contains some errors.
Email address of your account : There is no account with this email address.
so we can brute force using list of emails and get some regestered mails
there is rate limit but it's very poor as waiting 20 seconds after 7 or 8 requests will be ok and not banned with 429 response

suggested solution to say that : email is sent if this email has an account
as in here admin.alwaysdata.com/login/
if email or password are wrong it says credentials are incorrect not say email is incorrect as here emails can be enumerated

producing steps:
By using google dorks and write
site:alwaysdata.com intitle:index.of
it will show 2 sites
https://files.alwaysdata.com/ https://files.alwaysdata.com/migrations/software-2020/ the 2 files give me 404 forbidden

poc
searching for files.alwaysdata.com in waybackmachine
i can access now the pages without forbidden message
it contains software-2017 and software 2020
https://web.archive.org/web/20241007181407/https://files.alwaysdata.com/migrations/ it is an index page , appears software files that can be downloaded

Hope everything going well on your side.

Recently, while enumerating over alwaysdata.net and alwaysdata.com i came across a js file which contain a npm dependency which you also used using command require('nw.gui') . When i check it on npm registry it does not exist over there. So i claimed it. I also came across other dependencies which are used in other js files with the exact syntax but they are already exist on npm registry but only this dependency does not exist over npm registry. So, it could easily result in npm dependency confusion vulnerability which could severe consequences like if anytime you update/install it will easily give rise to Remote Code Execution over user/developer system even if it in scope or not.

## Step to reproduce:

1. Enumerate over your domain and find all endpoints.
2. From endpoints extract all js files.
3. In JS files search npm dependecies.


4. You will find dependency which I mentioned above.


Follow this js-file : [Link](https://foxrewards.alwaysdata.net/jeu/js/rpg_core.js)
5. Claimed the dependency.


## Impact:

1. If anytime you update/install it will easily give rise to Remote Code Execution over user/developer system which could be fatal.
2. Reputation damage of the company.

## Mitigation
Once you have reviewed this report, I can unclaim the package and you can upload your own ones there.

4.You can see that session is still login in https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1 and you can make any Changes in https://webmail.alwaysdata.com/?from_roundcube=1.

Impact
If attacker have user password and logged in different places, As other sessions is not destroyed, attacker will be still logged in your account even after changing password, cause his session is still active.. Malicious actor can complete access your account till that session expires! So, your account remains insecure even after the changing of password.

Thank You,

Hello Team, I hope you are doing well. Well, researching in your domain I found Direct accessing Api on another Browser, steps are given below:

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Go to https://admin.alwaysdata.com/ and login into your account.
2 Go to Profile Section and create your token.
3.Then, go to https://api.alwaysdata.com/v1/account/ and sign in into your account.

Conclusion

• Git index allows accessing the files list and source code through .git/objects/
• You can see the top of the list of files above
• I haven't accessed those files' content because it's not necessary for the report according to the Responsible * Disclosure policy.
• My assumption is that some of those files contain sensitive information, which can be used to escalate vulnerability.

Resolving suggestions

1. Remove access to the .git folder from the web, e.g. in webserver config or using .htaccess file
2. Review repository content considering all data compromised because it has been available in public for a while.

Summary:

During testing, I discovered that the 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) feature can be abused to block legitimate users from registering on the platform. This vulnerability arises because the application allows users to update their email addresses without disabling 2FA. When users update their email while 2FA is enabled, the application requires the 2FA code to log in with the new email. An attacker can exploit this flaw by registering an account using his email, enabling 2FA, and then updating the account's email to the victim's. This process effectively locks the victim out of their email address and prevents them from registering to the platform.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create account at : https://admin.alwaysdata.com/admin/details/

1. The attacker creates an account using their email address.

1. the attacker logs in and enables 2FA.

1. The attacker then updates their email address to the victim's.

1. If the victim tries to register an account using their email address, they receive an error stating that the email already exists.

1. If the victim attempts to reset the password using the "Forgot Password" feature:

1. The victim receives the password reset link and successfully updates their password.

1. Upon attempting to log in, the application prompts for the 2FA code.

1. Since the victim cannot access the 2FA code the attacker sets, they cannot log in.

Impact

This behavior effectively locks the victim out of their email address, preventing them from registering or accessing an account on the platform.

Non-functional 2FA recovery codes

Hello Team,

I hope you are doing well. While researching in your domain https://admin.alwaysdata.com/ I found that their is Non-Functional 2FA recovery code option in your domain.

The users that had enabled 2FA were not able to recover their accounts in case of a missing phone or authentication device. The issue was caused by improper error handling on the client during account recovery.

You should add a back-up recovery option so user or customer should back-up their account easily.

Thank You,
