CVE-2008-7212: MOStlyCE before 2.4, as used in Mambo 4.6.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive inform...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old information-disclosure issue in MOStlyCE used with Mambo. A specially formed request to a PHP connector can make the application reveal its server installation path in an error message. That alone is not system compromise, but it can help an attacker map the environment for later attacks. Exposure is most likely on legacy public Mambo sites using MOStlyCE before 2.4 with the referenced filemanager connector reachable over the web. Treat this as low urgency unless the affected legacy site is externally exposed or business-critical. The bigger concern is continued operation of an obsolete Mambo stack, where this issue may be one of several weaknesses. Mitigation focus: Inventory Mambo sites and MOStlyCE versions, especially Mambo 4.6.3 or earlier.; Upgrade MOStlyCE beyond the affected before-2.4 range where vendor guidance supports it.; Remove or restrict the filemanager connector if it is not required..
