Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: ASP/MS Access Shoutbox version 1.1 beta

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information due to insufficient access control. This is because the db/shoutdb.mdb file is stored under the web root, making it accessible via a direct request.

Recommendations: For ASP/MS Access Shoutbox version 1.1 beta, consider restricting access to the db/shoutdb.mdb file to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, move the db/shoutdb.mdb file outside of the web root to prevent direct access.
