CVE-2004-1893: Dreamweaver MX, when "Using Driver On Testing Server" or "Using DSN on Testing Server" is selected, uploads...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Dreamweaver MX could place a database helper script, mmhttpdb.asp, on a website without requiring authentication. If that script remained reachable, outsiders could request it directly to obtain sensitive information and possibly run SQL against the connected database. Exposure is most likely on legacy ASP sites or testing servers built with Dreamweaver MX where mmhttpdb.asp was uploaded and left web-accessible. The source bundle does not identify exact affected versions, CPEs, or whether later Adobe/Macromedia products are affected. Treat this as high priority if any legacy Dreamweaver MX-managed ASP site is still internet-facing. The risk is concentrated but serious: an obsolete helper script may expose database information or permit unauthorized SQL actions without login controls. Mitigation focus: Search vendor guidance for Macromedia bulletin MPSB04-05 before making changes.; Remove mmhttpdb.asp from public or production web roots if not required.; Restrict testing server helper scripts to authenticated, trusted administrators only..
