ACNews stores the database in a file under the web document root with a db.inc extension and insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information such as the full pathname of the server.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This legacy ACNews issue can expose a site database file because it may sit inside the public web root. A remote attacker could retrieve sensitive details, including server path information. The sources do not provide CVSS, affected version detail, or a vendor fix. Exposure is most likely in legacy ACNews installations where database or include files remain directly reachable from the public web root. The provided sources do not identify affected versions or CPEs. Prioritize as a legacy exposure cleanup item. Escalate if ACNews is internet-facing or handles sensitive content, because source evidence lacks patch and version clarity. Mitigation focus: Check ACNews vendor or maintainer guidance for supported fixes.; Remove public reachability for database and include files under the document root.; Move sensitive database files outside the web document root where supported..
