Summary

BookReview beta 1.0 allows remote attackers to obtain the path of the web server via certain parameters to search.htm, possibly due to a search[string] parameter with a missing value or an incorrect submit[type] value, which reveals the path in the resulting error message. NOTE: it is not clear whether BookReview is available to the public. If not, then it should not be included in CVE.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
