CVE-2008-0249 Information

Description

PHP Webquest 2.6 allows remote attackers to retrieve database credentials via a direct request to admin/backup_phpwebquest.php which leaks the credentials in an error message if a call to /usr/bin/mysqldump fails. NOTE: this might only be an issue in limited environments.
