# Impact :
***********
* The product stores sensitive information in files or directories that are accessible
to actors outside of the intended control sphere.
* An information exposure is the intentional or unintentional disclosure of information
to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
* phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of
MySQL over the World Wide Web. It can be used to dump a database or a collection of
databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server (not necessarily a MySQL server).
The dump typically contains SQL statements to create the table, populate it, or both.
This file contains an phpMyAdmin SQL dump. This information is highly sensitive and
should not be found on a production system.
* It looks like this file contains a database backup/dump.
Acunetix inferred this filename from the domain name. A database backup contains a record of the
table structure and/or the data from a database and is usually in the form of a list of SQL statements.
A database backup is most often used for backing up a database so that its contents can be restored
in the event of data loss. This information is highly sensitive and should never be found on a production system.
Remediation : Sensitive files such as database backups should never be stored in a directory that is accessible
to the web server. As a workaround, you could restrict access to this file.
INSTALLING GIBBON
***********************
Server Requirements
********************
Apache 2
PHP 7.0 or above (with PDO, gettext, CURL. Recommended to turn display_errors off.)
MySQL 5 (collation set to utf8_general_ci)
Manual Installation :
*******************
After download and unzipping:
Copy all files to your server, choosing either the root directory or a sub-folder within it.
Navigate your browser to the folder on your server where Gibbon has been located.
Follow the on-screen instructions in Gibbon’s new installer.
Check out the Getting Started With Gibbon page for more information.
Note: If you want to help test and develop Gibbon, you can select the Cutting Edge
Code option in the installer. This allows you to run the latest code from our GitHub repo.
This is not recommended for production environments.
Post-Install & Server Config
**************************
Set permissions of all Gibbon files so they are not publicly writeable (e.g. chmod -Rv 755).
Create folder /uploads and set file permissions for to allow writing by web server
(avoid chmod 777 for security reasons).
To improve security and reliability, magic_quotes_gpc should be turned off in php.ini.
This is supposed to be deprecated in PHP 5.3, but experience shows sometimes
it is better to turn it off anyway.
Turn PHP register_globals off. On shared host, use .htaccess php_flag register_globals off to do this
Set PHP to allow <? as well as <?php. Turn short_open_tag on. (This is not required for
running the Core as of v8.0.00 or greater. Update your additional modules to the latest version.)
Turn folder browsing off. On shared host, use .htaccess Options -Indexes
Set PHP’s max_file_uploads to at least the number of students in a class.
Set PHP’s error to be error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE or less aggressive
Set PHP to allow URLs as files (otherwise Calendar overlay in TT will not work). allow_url_fopen=On
Set PHP’s max_input_vars setting to 5,000 (otherwise Manage Permissions breaks)
On systems that use selinux make sure to run setsebool -P
httpd_can_sendmail 1 to enable Gibbon to send mail.
