CVE-2026-6160 Details
Description
A vulnerability was found in code-projects Simple ChatBox 1.0. Affected by this issue is the function SimpleChatbox_PHP of the file chatbox.sql of the component Endpoint. Performing a manipulation results in file and directory information exposure. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple ChatBox version 1.0. The issue arises from an exposed SQL database backup file, 'chatbox.sql', which is located in a publicly accessible directory within the web root. The web server does not restrict access to .sql files, allowing any unauthenticated user to download the database dump via HTTP. This SQL file contains the complete database schema and application data, including chat messages and user information. The vulnerability is caused by improper server configuration and the insecure handling of backup files, leading to the unintended exposure of sensitive data.
It is recommended to remove SQL backup files from the web root and store them in a secure location, such as a private backup directory. Additionally, access to .sql files should be restricted through server configuration to prevent unauthorized downloads.
