Overview of the Tool:
=====================
Free audio cutter software to cut or merge audio files.

Free Audio Cutter is an easy-to-use and free audio cutting software to cut
audio file into small pieces or merge audio files into one large file.

The likelihood of the vulnerability is rated as "High" as issue assist
malware/ viruses to take leverage into the user machine to stay persistent
by performing injection and hook into the process (Weeny Audio Cutter v1.5)

Description:
============
The Weeny audio cutter tool is vulnerable to Code Injection.Code injection
attacks can lead to loss of data integrity in nearly all cases as the
control-plane data injected is always incidental to data recall or writing.
Additionally, code injection can often result in the execution of arbitrary
code.

The software receives input from an upstream component, but it does not
neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before inserting the
input into an executable resource, such as a library, configuration file,
or template.

Trace dump:
==========

The Program execution initiation address is "77AEEF80" (Before Injection)

77AEEF80 . 895C24 08 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+8],EBX
77AEEF84 . E9 5DB20000 JMP ntdll.77AFA1E6
77AEEF89 . 8DA424 0000000>LEA ESP,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP]
77AEEF90 >/$ 8BD4 MOV EDX,ESP

77AEEFA4 |. CD 2E INT 2E

The injected string executes from the address " 0053DF2A" (After Injection)

0053DF2A > $ 31C9 XOR ECX,ECX ;
0053DF2C . 64:8B41 30 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR FS:[ECX+30]
0053DF30 . 8B40 0C MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+C]

0053DF36 . AD LODS DWORD PTR DS:[ESI]

Solution:

1) Input Validation:
====================
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation
strategy, i.e., use a white-list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform
to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to
specifications, or transform it into something that does.

When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant
properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable
values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields,
and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic,
"boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric
characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain
colors such as "red" or "blue."

Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs (i.e.,
do not rely on a blacklist). A blacklist is likely to miss at least one
undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can
give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However,
blacklists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining
which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.

2) Output Encoding:
====================
Perform proper output validation and escaping to neutralize all code syntax
from data written to code files.
