Executive Summary

CVE-2026-86179 is a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in Daily Expense Manager 1.0. The flaw occurs because the application's SQL database initialization file, exp_ak.sql, is stored in a web-accessible directory. If an attacker requests this file via HTTP, they can access sensitive database information such as schema details, financial records, and configuration data without authentication.

Detection Guidance

Check if the file /Daily-Expense-Manager/exp_ak.sql is accessible via HTTP by attempting to access it directly in a web browser or using curl commands like 'curl http://your-server/Daily-Expense-Manager/exp_ak.sql'. If the file is accessible, it indicates the vulnerability exists.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to access sensitive data by exploiting the exposed SQL file. Impact includes potential exposure of financial records, user credentials, database structure, and application settings. Attackers could use this information for further attacks, identity theft, or financial fraud.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized access to sensitive personal and financial data. GDPR requires protection of personal data, while HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information. Exposure of such data could lead to legal penalties, fines, and reputational damage for organizations.

Mitigation Strategies

Remove the exp_ak.sql file from the web-accessible directory or move it outside the document root. Configure the web server to block access to .sql files by adding rules to deny access to such files.
