CVE-2007-4157

MEDIUM CVSS: 5.0 Published: 2007-08-03 Modified: 2026-06-16

Description

PHPBlogger stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download a database containing an admin password hash via a direct request for data/pref.db. NOTE: this can be easily leveraged for administrative access because composing the authentication cookie only requires the password hash, not the cleartext version.

Affected Platforms

Phpblogger Php-Blogger

NVD-CWE-Other
