Description: A security issue has been reported in Web Wiz Polls, which may allow malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The problem is that the Web Wiz Polls database file "weekly_poll.mdb" by default is accessible by anyone. This may disclose the administrative username and password.
The issue has been reported in version 3.05 and confirmed in version 3.06. However, other versions may also be affected.
Solution: Place the database in a separate directory and restrict access to it.
Use another product.
