to read for example database passwords, usernames, mails & Co.

Exploitation of the vulnerability does not require user interaction or a privilege application 
user account. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability will result in application and dbms compromise.


Vulnerable Module(s):
				[+] National Charge Band

Vulnerable File(s):
				[+] chargeband.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
				[+] id


Proof of Concept (PoC):
