Technical details

The vulnerability is an information disclosure flaw caused by improper access controls on backup files in the Backup Handler component. The unencrypted example.7z archive is stored in the repository root, which is served as the default application document-root, making it retrievable via a simple HTTP GET request without authentication. The archive contains a full SQL export (example.sql) with 997 student records, 997 password hashes, personal identity data (18-digit values), 3,982 course-selection records, and administrative credentials. The attack requires only network access and no authentication; an attacker can directly download the file using standard tools like curl. The project was notified via issue report but has not yet responded or released a patch.
