When directory indexing is enabled on a web server or as part of a software suite, any user can browse through the contents of publicly accessible directories. This often reveals sensitive information that would otherwise be difficult to identify, and under certain circumstances, these files may also be executable.

The following directories were found to be exposed and are believed to be exposed on every EzAdsPro “Blackbox” installation:

/feeds/
