Title: Bugzilla Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Bugzilla is a web-based bug-tracking system based on Perl and MySQL.
Bugzilla ships with a a file called 'globals.pl', containing global variables and other information used by various Bugzilla components. Among the more sensitive variables stored in this file are the database username and password.
Many webservers are not configured by default to interpret files with the extension '.pl' as CGI executables. As a result, if 'globals.pl' is requested explicitly by a client from one of these webservers, it will be disclosed as plaintext. This would reveal the sensitive information to the attacker.
With a database username and password, it may be possible to compromise the system further.
Affected Products:
- Mozilla Bugzilla 2.10.0
- Mozilla Bugzilla 2.4.0
- Mozilla Bugzilla 2.6.0
- Mozilla Bugzilla 2.8.0
