Description

 Web Wiz Internet Search Engine contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. It is possible to gain access to plaintext administrator passwords when a remote user can access the 'common.inc' file to determine the path and filename for the database file. The user then downloads the database with a certain type of URL, which may lead to a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity.
