Synopsis

Phinx Configuration File Detected

Description

Phinx is an open-source PHP software designed to help developers to quickly create and maintain their SQL databases migrations through PHP code. Phinx uses a configuration file in the project root directory to store the environment and database information. By accessing it, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to gain unauthorized and privileged access to one or multiple components of the web application.

Solution

Ensure that the configuration file is not deployed with the application or, at least, is not exposed in a web server directory by setting proper permissions on it.
