This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site. 2) The security issue is caused due to database files being stored with insecure permissions inside the web root. This can be exploited to potentially gain access to sensitive information by downloading the database file. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Move the database file out of the web root.
