Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SimpleTest version 1.0.1

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, this can be demonstrated by accessing test/visual test.php and certain other files.

Recommendations For SimpleTest version 1.0.1, consider restricting access to sensitive .php files, such as test/visual test.php, to prevent the disclosure of installation paths. As a temporary workaround, avoid using error messages that reveal sensitive information until a more permanent solution is available.
