CVE-2009-2602 describes a vulnerability in R2 Newsletter Lite, Pro, and Stats where sensitive database files (admin.mdb) are stored under the web root with inadequate access controls. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to directly download the database, leading to information disclosure. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (medium) and a FAUCET Risk Score of 76/100, the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity. While not actively exploited in the wild or on the KEV catalog, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
