User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Tested on latest Nightly 53.0a1 (2016-11-21) (64-bit) -----------OS username disclosure-------- The webkitdirectory on fresh install and profile (or new website where directory has never been uploaded) seems to always default to 'C:\Users\{user}\Desktop' 1. Open PoC on a fresh URL where directory uploading has never been performed (to make sure it defaults to dekstop) 2. Hold down enter 3. Since webkitdirectory keeps going back a folder every time its used, we only need to make sure a victim keeps hitting enter for at least 2-3 upload dialogues and then we would have successfully grabbed the OS username. ------------Arbitrary File Disclosure-------- Say you go to website 'A' and you upload a directory (doesn't actually have to upload, just as long as you loaded files) that exists in the folder 'C:\Users\{user}\Documents\', if we are able to run the attached PoC on website 'A' (say XSS or if website 'A' is codepen/jsfiddle..etc) we will be able to fool the user into uploading the entire contents of the 'My Documents' folder. Here is one scenario: 1. Victim visits a codepen link that showcases html5 webkitdirectory. 2. Victim tests this new feature by uploading/selecting a random folder within 'My documents' then forgets about it. 3. Victim receives an attackers website which embeds a codepen code that uses the PoC here. 4. Victim then knowingly exposes his/her files. As I mentioned, this can also be done with XSS vulnerabilities or possibly even URL spoofing. Actual results: In both scenarios we either disclose OS username or we have access to arbitrary files on victims computer. Expected results: Two suggestions: 1. Prevent input.click() from bypassing popup blocker, only allow it from mouse clicks. 2. Prevent the behavior where within the Documents folder and its contents (sub folders as well) be uploaded without explicitly choosing such an action. For some reason #2 so far only works on Documents folder, the folder uploader seems to ignore this behavior when on C: or desktop folder and others. But if it worked for My Documents my guess is it would work on other locations.

Baku, you were the last person to be working on this code. Can you look into this?
Flags: needinfo?(amarchesini)
This issue is about how we create a FilePicker and I suspect it is platform depending. On linux, the GTK FilePicker (GTKFileChooser) has a default action. It means that, pressing 'enter', the user confirms the selection of the default selected file/directory. We could remove the default action for GTK, windows and mac, or move the focus out of the action button. I think we should move this bug to widget components.

The bug was that, we were taking always the parent directory of the last selected file/directory. In this way we were exposing the full filesystem in this test script.

If yes, steps to reproduce]: it's described in the bug. [List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: none [Is the change risky?]: no [Why is the change risky/not risky?]: this patch is already in aurora. The code just takes the directory path as last visited directory, in case the nsIFilePicker is in directory mode. [String changes made/needed]: none

> Both bugs still work 100% using Nightly 54.0a1 (2017-02-03) (64-bit) I cannot reproduce this STR (from the description of the bug): 1. Open PoC on a fresh URL where directory uploading has never been performed (to make sure it defaults to dekstop) 2. Hold down enter 3. Since webkitdirectory keeps going back a folder every time its used, we only need to make sure a victim keeps hitting enter for at least 2-3 upload dialogues and then we would have successfully grabbed the OS username. We are not going back a folder every time. We stay on the current one. If you see some other issues, please file a new bug.

Should I file a different report for the behavior where holding down enter can be used to trick someone into uploading arbitrary folder? Or more specifically, once the 'upload folder' dialog appears, a user should not be able to just hit enter and select the default/last used directory. A user must explicitly choose a folder using mouse or arrow keys
