Description

PHPlist contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker makes a direct request to the attributes.php script, which will disclose the software's installation path resulting in a loss of confidentiality. While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
