CVE-2007-4157 Information

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.
