CVE-2003-0013 describes a vulnerability in Bugzilla versions 2.14.x, 2.16.x, and 2.17.x where default .htaccess scripts failed to protect backup copies of the localconfig file. This oversight allowed remote attackers to directly access these backup files, potentially exposing sensitive database passwords. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a high severity with a network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
