The Killer Protection PHP script is prone to an information-disclosure issue. Reportedly, unauthorized users can access sensitive user data by requesting the 'vars.inc' file in a malicious HTTP request.

Exploiting this issue may allow attackers to access sensitive usernames and passwords, which could be used in future attacks.
