Thanks to rkc [[email protected]] advisory :
A vulnerability have been found in Postnuke which allow users to
determine the physical path of this cms.
This vulnerability would allow a remote user to determine the full path
to the web root directory and other information, like the database name
(!)
Example:
========
http://www.target.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Members_List&file=index&letter=All&sortby=uname1234
Change 1234 by anything.
