CVE-2005-0855

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

CoolForum 0.8.1 beta and earlier versions disclose the full system path in PHP error messages when specific scripts are directly requested. This vulnerability allows an attacker to obtain sensitive information about the server's directory structure.

Risk Assessment

Disclosure of the system path can help an attacker further explore the server and potentially exploit other vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update CoolForum to the latest available version and disable PHP error display in the production environment by setting display_errors to Off in the php.ini file.

Original NVD description (English source)

CoolForum 0.8.1 beta and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive path information via direct requests to (1) entete.php, (2) profile_accueil.php, (3) profile_mdp.php, (4) profile_notify.php, (5) profile_options.php, (6) profile_perso.php, (7) profile_pm.php, or (8) readannonce.php, which leaks the full pathname in a PHP error message.
