Ian Dunn: [Not just a server configuration issue] Full Path Disclosure

Hey, I’ve just found a ‘full path disclosure’ in basic-google-maps-placemarks, so it’s not just a server configuration issue! I’ve tested it on different servers (including windows, ubuntu, CentOS etc…)

#PoC
So, if we visit wp-content/plugins/basic-google-maps-placemarks/unit-tests.php it is clearly disclosing the full path as you can see in the following links:

And eventually, in my localhost too:

{F107116}

Well, not all websites using basic-google-maps-placemarks, have a server configuration issue, so it’s probably an issue in your plugin! :-)

###Impact:
Well, the possible impact is that if attacker gets into the server using other website, he might symlink and also get access to the site using that full path!

>> Request: Still if you are not going to fix this, please close as informativer

Cheers,
Ahsan
