Product:  
====================  
Ws02Carbon v4.4.5  
  
WSO2 Carbon is the core platform on which WSO2 middleware products are  
built. It is based on Java OSGi technology, which allows  
components to be dynamically installed, started, stopped, updated, and  
uninstalled, and it eliminates component version conflicts.  
In Carbon, this capability translates into a solid core of common  
middleware enterprise components, including clustering, security,  
logging, and monitoring, plus the ability to add components for specific  
features needed to solve a specific enterprise scenario.  
  
  
  
Vulnerability Type:  
=========================  
Local File Inclusion (LFI)  
  
  
  
CVE Reference:  
==============  
CVE-2016-4314  
  
  
  
Vulnerability Details:  
=====================  
  
An authenticated user can download configuration files in the filesystem  
via downloadArchivedLogFiles operation in LogViewer admin service.  
The request to the admin service accepts a file path relative to the carbon  
log file directory (i.e. <WSO2_PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/logs)  
hence can access any file in the file system.

Example: accessing the registry.xml file via Local File Inclusion exposes  
the MySQL passwords.  
  
<currentDBConfig>mysql-db</currentDBConfig>  
<dbConfig name="mysql-db">  
<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/regdb</url>  
<userName>regadmin</userName>  
<password>regadmin</password>  
<driverName>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverName>  
<maxActive>80</maxActive>  
<maxWait>6000</maxWait>  
<minIdle>5</minIdle>  
</dbConfig>
