X-News is a news management system, written in PHP. X-News uses a flat-file database to store information. 
It will run on most Unix and Linux variants, as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems.

X-News stores user IDs and MD5 hashes in a world-readable file (db/users.txt). This is the same information that 
is issued by X-News in cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker may incorporate this information into 
cookies and then submit them to gain unauthorized access to the X-News administrative account. 

Solution : Deny access to the files inside the db/ directory trough the webserver. 
Risk factor : Low";
