PHP-Fusion Database Backup Disclosure

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Checks the version of the remote PHP-Fusion Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to information disclosure. Description : A vulnerability exists in the remote version of PHP-Fusion that may permit a possible hacker to obtain a dump of the remote database. PHP-Fusion has the ability to create database backups and store them on the web server, in the directory '/fusion_admin/db_backups/'. Since there is no access control on that directory, a possible hacker may guess the name of a backuped database and download it.
