AdMan editCampaign.php Malformed campaignId Variable Path Disclosure
Posted on 23 March 2006

Vulnerability Description

Adman contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker assigns an empty or invalid value in the campaignId variable in a request to the editCampaign.php script, which will disclose the software's installation path resulting in a loss of confidentiality. While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
