# Information about Software :

#####################################################################
# Impact :
***********
Sentrifugo Human Resource Management System 3.2 configuration file may
potentially
disclose sensitive information to remote attackers.
The username and password of the database may be obtained trough the
"application.ini" file.
This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The configuration file unintentionally stored in
/application/configs/application.ini
HTTP requests consisting of a single character will cause the software
to disclose sensitive
configuration information, including the password/database to the
administrative web interface.
This file is installed, by default, with world readable and possibly
world writeable permissions enabled.
This may have some potentially serious consequences as the configuration file
also stores password information in plain text.
This issue occurs because access controls on configuration files are
not properly set.
An attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve potentially sensitive
information.
Attackers can access config file via URL request. This may aid in
further attacks.
The access to the /configs directory should be restricted with an adequate
countermeasure by the use of a .htaccess file.
* 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.
