CVE-2011-3716: Claroline 1.9.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-3716 is a path disclosure issue in Claroline 1.9.7. Certain direct requests to PHP files can cause an error message that reveals the server installation path. That information is usually not enough by itself for compromise, but it can help an attacker map the environment for later attacks. Exposure is likely limited to internet- or intranet-accessible Claroline 1.9.7 deployments. The source data does not identify other affected versions or formal CPEs, so teams should not assume broader product impact without vendor or project evidence. Treat this as low urgency unless Claroline 1.9.7 is externally exposed or part of a sensitive learning platform. The main business risk is reconnaissance value, not direct compromise based on available evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory Claroline deployments and identify any version 1.9.7 instances.; Check Claroline or project guidance for a fixed version or supported remediation.; Reduce public exposure of affected instances until remediation is confirmed..
