Vulnerabilities

PTC Vuforia Studio does not require a token; this could allow an attacker with local access to perform a cross-site request forgery attack or a replay attack.

Before importing a project into Vuforia, a user could modify the “resourceDirectory” attribute in the appConfig.json file to be a different path.

A user could use the “Upload Resource” functionality to upload files to any location on the disk.

By changing the filename parameter in the request, an attacker could delete any file with the permissions of the Vuforia server account.

An attacker with local access to the machine could record the traffic, which could allow them to resend requests without the server authenticating that the user or session are valid.

The local Vuforia web application does not support HTTPS, and federated credentials are passed via basic authentication.
