Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PhpHostBot version 2.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to certain .php files. This is demonstrated by files such as admin/create acct.php, which reveals the installation path in an error message.

Recommendations For PhpHostBot version 2.0, consider restricting access to sensitive .php files, such as admin/create acct.php, to prevent the disclosure of installation paths. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to these files until a patch is available.
