Description

EZGuestbook contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when the product stores its database within the web root, where it can be downloaded with a simple browser request. This will disclose all guestbook information, including the administrator's username and cleartext password, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
