Impact

If exploited, the "Froxlor Database Backup File Disclosure" vulnerability can lead to the exposure of sensitive database backup files. This can result in the unauthorized access and potential leakage of sensitive information, including user credentials, personal data, and other confidential data stored in the database.

How the module works?

The "Froxlor Database Backup File Disclosure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target server and analyzing the responses based on specific matching conditions. The module checks for the presence of certain keywords in the response body, such as "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS," "CREATE TABLE," and "PRIMARY KEY." It also checks for specific header values, including "application/sql," "application/x-sql," "application/octet-stream," and "text/plain." Additionally, the module verifies that the response status code is 200.

By combining these matching conditions, the module can identify instances where the target server exposes database backup files, indicating the presence of the vulnerability.

Here is an example of an HTTP request sent by the module:

GET /install/froxlor.sql

The module then evaluates the response based on the defined matching conditions to determine if the vulnerability is present.
