Sequelize Configuration File Detected

Synopsis

Sequelize Configuration File Detected

Description

Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM tool for databases engines. Sequelize CLI uses by default a configuration file in 'config' 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.
