Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PHP (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain the physical path for an include file via a trailing slash in a request to a directly accessible PHP program. This occurs when PHP is not configured with the "display errors = Off" setting in php.ini, causing the include directive to fail and producing an error message that contains the path.

Recommendations For all affected versions, configure PHP with the "display errors = Off" setting in php.ini to prevent the disclosure of physical paths.
