Title: PHP-Nuke Web_Links Module Path Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
PHP-Nuke is a popular web based Portal system. It allows users to create accounts and contribute content to the site.
The Web_Links module for PHP-Nuke has been reported prone to a vulnerability which, when exploited, may disclose sensitive path information to a remote attacker.
Reportedly an attacker may make a malicious request for the Web_Links module passing specific URI parameters to trigger the condition. Although unconfirmed, it is likely that the request will cause an error to occur, causing PHP-Nuke to display an error message containing the path to the module.
An attacker may use the information gathered in this manner to mount further attacks against the host.
It should be noted that although PHP-Nuke version 6.x has been reported vulnerable, other versions might also be affected.
