DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been discovered in Pulse CMS, which can be exploited
by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The application stores backups with predictable file names inside the
data/backups directory, which can be exploited to disclose sensitive
information by downloading a file.

The weakness is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Limit access to the "data/backups" directory (e.g. via .htaccess).
