    Intro.
    
    What is PostNuke ?
    PostNuke is a weblog/Content Management System (CMS).
    It is far more secure and stable than competing products.
    
    Home Page: http://www.postnuke.com
    
    &&
    
    A vulnerability have been found in Postnuke (v0.7.2.3-Phoenix & prior)
    which allow users to determine the physical path of this cms.
    
    This vulnerability would allow a remote user to determine the full path to
    the web root directory.
    
    Example:
    
    http://www.[target-website].com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=
    
    Error:
    
    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
    /the/full/path/public_html/modules/Sections/index.php on line 238
    
    
    Cheers,
