Description:
A security issue has been reported in Web Wiz Mailing, which may allow malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The problem is that the Web Wiz Mailing database file "mailing_list/mailing_list.mdb" by default is accessible by anyone. This may disclose the administrative username and password.
The issue has been reported in version 3.02. However, other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The security issue has been fixed in some version by informing users to place the "mailing_list.mdb" database file outside the web root in a secure location.
