CVE-2006-2532
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedstats.php in Destiney Rated Images Script 0.5.0 allows remote attackers to obtain the installation path via an invalid s parameter, which displays the path in an error message. NOTE: this issue was originally claimed to be SQL injection, but CVE analysis shows that the problem is related to an invalid value that prevents some variables from being set.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidencestats.php in Destiney Rated Images Script 0.5.0 fails to properly initialize variables when an invalid 's' parameter is provided, causing the application to display the full server installation path in an error message. This is an information disclosure vulnerability, not SQL injection as originally reported.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Destiney Rated Images Script installationLocate stats.php in the web root directory - this file is part of the Destiney Rated Images Script packageAffected if The file stats.php exists in the web application directory and the application is Destiney Rated Images Script version 0.5.0
-
Verify application versionCheck the script header, README, or any version file to confirm the exact installed version is 0.5.0Affected if The installed version is exactly 0.5.0 as listed in affected versions
-
Test for path disclosure via invalid s parameterSend an HTTP request to stats.php with an invalid or empty value for the 's' parameter, such as: stats.php?s=invalidAffected if The application returns an error message that includes the full server filesystem path (e.g., /home/user/public_html/)
A user is affected if they have Destiney Rated Images Script version 0.5.0 installed and stats.php discloses the full server path when given an invalid 's' parameter.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper variable initialization and error handling in stats.php to ensure sensitive path information is not exposed when invalid parameters are provided. Consider using custom error handlers that log details server-side while displaying generic messages to users.
