Description:
A vulnerability identified in PHP-Nuke can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of system information.
The PHP script "print.php" used by the modules "News" and "AvantGo" does not verify user input supplied to the "$sid" variable. A malicious person can exploit this to gain knowledge of the full path to the installation directory by sending a HTTP request including invalid input to the "$sid" variable.
Solution:
Edit the source code to validate user input.
