Description

A vulnerability has been reported in PHP-Nuke allowing malicious people to see the installation path.

The problem is that the search module can't handle certain characters such as """, ">" and "'". This causes PHP-Nuke to return an error message that discloses the installation path.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 7.

Solution
Configure PHP so that error messages aren't returned to the user.
