CVE-2014-125093Network attack vector

Server path disclosure via malformed session identifier

Published Mar 10, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Full path disclosure in Admiral Ad Blocking Detector 1.2.0 through 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to read server filesystem paths. The plugin calls session_start() without first validating an attacker-controlled PHPSESSID cookie or query value, so malformed identifiers trigger PHP warnings containing the absolute script path. Exposure requires PHP warnings to appear in the HTTP response; the disclosed path supplies reconnaissance data but does not itself grant file access.
