Description:
An information disclosure vulnerability has been reported in Bitboard, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of the administrator password hash.
The vulnerability is caused due to an access control error allowing anyone to access "data_passwd.dat" in the "admin/" directory, which contains the hash of the administrator's password. It may then be possible to identify the password by brute forcing it using a dictionary attack.
Solution:
Update to version 2.5.
