TightAuction 3.0 stores config.inc under the web document root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to obtain the database username and password.

Security readout for executives and security teams

TightAuction 3.0 can expose its database username and password because config.inc is stored under the web document root without sufficient access control. If the file is reachable on a public site, an attacker could obtain credentials and potentially access or alter auction data. Exposure is most likely on legacy TightAuction 3.0 deployments where config.inc remains inside the web-served document tree and is directly reachable remotely. Organizations without current asset inventory for old auction or PHP applications may miss this. Prioritize any internet-facing TightAuction 3.0 instance because credential disclosure can turn a web issue into database exposure. The age of the software also increases maintenance and detection risk. Mitigation focus: Check vendor or archived maintainer guidance for TightAuction 3.0 fixes.; Block direct web access to config.inc and similar configuration files.; Move sensitive configuration outside web-served directories where supported..
