Description

Macromedia has issued an advisory regarding a security issue in Dreamweaver, potentially allowing malicious people to manipulate databases.

The problem is that "Using Driver On Testing Server" and "Using DSN on Testing Server" causes Dreamweaver to upload a script, which can be exploited to query valid DSNs and issue SQL queries.

This is not considered a vulnerability, as it is clearly stated that the functionality is intended for test systems.

The issue affects:
* Dreamweaver MX 2004
* Dreamweaver MX
* Dreamweaver UltraDev 4


Solution
Remove the script from production systems.
