Description
Web Wiz Guestbook 6.0 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database and obtain sensitive information via a direct request for database/WWGguestbook.mdb. NOTE: it was later reported that 8.21 is also affected.
