DESCRIPTION:
Francois Harvey has discovered a vulnerability in vtiger CRM, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing database
backup requests via graph.php without checking credentials. This can
be exploited to download the database backup and disclose sensitive
information.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.2.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.3.0.
