http://secunia.com/advisories/20450/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Dmx Forum 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/10335/

DESCRIPTION:
DarkFig has discovered two security issues in Dmx Forum, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

1) The "_includes/bd.inc" configuration file is stored insecurely
inside the web root. This can be exploited to disclose the username
and password for the database.

2) An error caused due to missing authentication checks when
accessing the "pops/edit.php" script can be exploited to disclose the
username and password for other users by defining the "membre"
parameter.

The security issues have been confirmed in version 2.1a. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that users are properly authenticated
and restrict web access to the "_includes/bd.inc" file.
