Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions phpBook version 2.1.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file. This is achieved by revealing the installation path in an error message. For example, requesting files such as doc/update smilies 1.50-1.60.php can expose this information.

Recommendations For phpBook version 2.1.0, consider restricting access to sensitive .php files to prevent information disclosure until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using error messages that reveal the installation path.
