BloodyShell reported 2021-09-26

Exposures

The .git folder is accessible and the whole source code can be downloaded.

The source code reveals an app/configuration/configuration.ini file containing production credentials :

; Required configuration file.

; MySQL section.
[MySQL]
host = "127.0.0.1"
user = "jeugdwerk_user"
password = "<redacted>"
database = "jeugdwerk"
trace = 0 ; Set to 1 to trace SQL statements, set to 0 to disable trace

; Facebook section
[Facebook]
appid = "236939726505949"
appsecret = "<redacted>"

; Regional section
[Regional]
language = "nl" ; For now only Dutch is supported.

.....

Resolution

  • The .git folder should be hidden/removed from the production and staging server
  • Credentials should be stored outside code repositories as much as possible

Notes

The staging website has the same configuration issue : https://jeugdwerk-staging.mijnleuven.be/

Dear Security researcher BloodyShell,

Thanks for reporting the security issue with the exposed .git folder.
I added an Apache2 directory match to exclude the git folder.

How can I send you a token of gratitude for this valuable information?

Best Regards,
Luc
