File accessibility vulnerability in Delinea Secret Server, in its v10.9.000002 and v11.4.000002 versions. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated user with administrative privileges to create a backup file in the applications webroot directory, changing the default backup directory to the wwwroot folder, and download it with some configuration files such as encryption.config/ and database.config stored in the wwwroot directory, exposing the database credentials in plain text.
The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be.

Web servers, FTP servers, and similar servers may store a set of files underneath a “root” directory that is accessible to the server’s users. Applications may store sensitive files underneath this root without also using access control to limit which users may request those files, if any. Alternately, an application might package multiple files or directories into an archive file (e.g., ZIP or tar), but the application might not exclude sensitive files that are underneath those directories. In cloud technologies and containers, this weakness might present itself in the form of misconfigured storage accounts that can be read or written by a public or anonymous user.
