Security readout for executives and security teams
This old MODx add-on flaw allowed unintended file retrieval through FileDownload before 2.5. The cited example is exposure of config.inc.php, which could reveal database credentials. Treat any reachable legacy MODx deployment using this snippet as a credential exposure risk, but the source bundle provides no CVSS score, KEV listing, or current exploitation evidence. Exposure is likely limited to legacy MODx sites that installed the MuddyDogPaws FileDownload snippet before version 2.5 and left download.php reachable. Standard MODx deployments without this snippet are not shown affected by the provided sources. Prioritize investigation for any public legacy MODx site. The business risk is credential exposure leading to database compromise. Urgency is lower where MODx or this snippet is absent, but uncertainty around patch details and age makes inventory important. Mitigation focus: Inventory MODx sites for the MuddyDogPaws FileDownload snippet.; Confirm whether FileDownload is version 2.5 or later.; Check vendor or project guidance before applying changes..
