Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions StatusNet version 0.9.6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file. This is achieved by accessing specific files, such as tpl/index.php, which reveals the installation path in an error message.

Recommendations For StatusNet version 0.9.6, consider restricting access to sensitive .php files, such as tpl/index.php, to prevent the disclosure of installation paths. As a temporary workaround, modify the error handling mechanism to avoid revealing sensitive information in error messages.
