HTTP: XOOPS Server Reveals Webroot
This signature detects attempts to exploit a vulnerability in XOOPS v2.0 and earlier. Attackers can send an invalid xoopsOption to determine the full path to the Web root directory and other potentially sensitive information.
Extended Description
A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted HTTP request and discover the physical path of the web root directory. An attacker could use the information gathered to launch further attacks.
