Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
An unauthenticated access vulnerability has been discovered in the official Teampass v2.1.25 application.  
The vulnerability allows remote attacker unauthenticated access to sensitive database management system information.  
  
The script /backups/script.backup.php allows administrators to create database backups. There are 3 problems with this script ...  
- there is no authentication needed to run the script  
- the backups are stored within the webroot in the /backups directory  
- the name of the backup is predictable as it uses the name bck_cpassman-[epoch time].sql by default  
  
These backup contains all lot of sensitive data. Usernames, hashed passwords, description fields with information, etc..  
As most of the passwords inserted by users are hashed, some are visible in clear text like:  
- the database password  
- in the teampass_misc table there are clear text password for smtp and ldap connections  
  
The security risk of the vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.8.   
Exploitation of the security web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account and user interaction.   
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthenticated access of dumps and physical database information.  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] ./backups/  
  
Vulnerable File(s):  
[+] script.backup.php  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction or privileged user account.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the issue follow the provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
PoC: Exploit  
#!/bin/bash  
  
#/backups/script.backup.php in Teampass 2.1.25 and earlier allows unauthenticated access  
# Default Teampass database backup filename is bck_cpassmann-[current epoch time].sql and   
# is stored in the backups directory.   
# Only thing we have to do is get the epoch time at which the database backup was generated.   
# First the script gets the server time from the index.php page, runs the script.backup.php   
# to create the backup and again gets the current server time from the index.php.   
# As we now know in which period the backup is created we can guess the filename
