TITLE:
BlogHelper "common_db.inc" Information Disclosure Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33384

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/33384/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
BlogHelper
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20934/

DESCRIPTION:
ahmadbady has discovered a security issue in BlogHelper, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to improper access restrictions to
the "common_db.inc" include file. This can be exploited to disclose
user credentials used to access the MySQL database by requesting the
file directly.

Successful exploitation requires that ".inc" is not declared as a php
suffix.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the "common_db.inc" include file (e.g. using a
.htaccess file).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
