How it was found

Summary: A training document is revealing username and password details for what appears to be a DoD training system

Description: Using the google dork site:*.mil ext:ppt intext:password, I was able to find a number of powerpoint documents on .mil websites that include username and passwords.

This document appears to be some old training materials

Slide 39 of www.███████/█████████

See: █████████

In this instance, the document relates to an online training platform at https://████████/, so if the credentials are still valid, anyone who reads that presentation could potentially access that system and any data it holds. Training databases often have elements of sensitive data left over from old production databases, so this may expose sensitive information.

Please note that I did not attempt to login using the credentials, as I didn't want to violate any terms of your policy.

If you would like me to attempt to login to test this vulnerbility, please let me know.

Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions

Using the google dork site:*.mil ext:ppt intext:password, examine any results which appear to include usernames or passwords

Impact
