CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Web+Shop 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/9262/

DESCRIPTION:
Revnic Vasile has reported a weakness in Web+Shop, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose system information.

The problem is that it is possible to disclose the full path to the
installation by accessing "webplus.exe" with an invalid "storeid"
parameter.

Example:
http://[host]/cgi-bin/webplus.exe?script=/webpshop/store.wml&storeid='

The weakness has been reported in version 5.3.6. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Configure the application to ensure that error messages containing
the full path to the installation are not returned to users (e.g. by
redirecting users to another page).
