Summary

In CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl, taking a configuration backup leaves a world-readable dump of the configuration database in /tmp. getConfigBlob() has the sqlite3 shell write the dump to /tmp/cbdump<pid> and never removes it; the file takes the process umask, and a symlink planted at that predictable name is followed.

Risk Assessment

The dump holds every user's password hash and every value saved by the application's forms; a local user can read these after any backup and may redirect the dump to a file of their choosing.

Recommendation

Upgrade CallBackery to version 0.62.0 or later, remove leftover /tmp/cbdump* files, and consider rotating user passwords.
