phpPgAds and phpAdsNew contain a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker sends a specially-crafted URL directly to the 'maintenance-autotargeting.php' script, which will disclose the full installation path resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
