CVE-2007-4157: Phpblogger PHP-Blogger

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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 products

• Phpblogger PHP-Blogger: version 2.2.7 only
