CVE-2007-0624
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 · unediteduser.php in MAXdev MDPro 1.0.76 allows remote attackers to obtain the full path via a ' (quote) character, and possibly other invalid values, in the uname parameter in a userinfo operation.
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 · high confidenceThe user.php file in MAXdev MDPro 1.0.76 fails to properly handle special characters in the uname parameter during userinfo operations. When a quote character (') is submitted, the application throws an error that exposes the full server file system path, aiding attackers in reconnaissance.

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.
-
Identify MAXdev MDPro installation and versionCheck for MDPro installation directories (commonly /mdpro/, /maxdev/, or root web directories). Look for version indicators in files like version.php, about.php, or meta tags in index pages.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0.76
-
Locate the user.php fileSearch for user.php in the web application directory structure. Common paths include /modules/users/user.php or /user.php within the MDPro installation.Affected if The user.php file exists in the application directory
-
Test for path disclosure via uname parameterSubmit a request to the userinfo operation with a quote character (') in the uname parameter. Example: GET /path/to/user.php?op=userinfo&uname=' or similar endpoint structure.Affected if The response displays a PHP error message containing the full server file system path (e.g., /home/user/public_html/mdpro/)
-
Verify the error exposes full pathExamine any error messages, warnings, or notices returned in the HTTP response. Look for absolute file paths in the error output.Affected if Absolute filesystem paths are visible in error output rather than generic error messages
A user is affected if MAXdev MDPro version 1.0.76 is installed and submitting a quote character in the uname parameter to user.php displays the full server file path in an error message.

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 input validation and sanitization for the uname parameter to reject or safely handle special characters, and configure the web server to suppress detailed error messages from being displayed to users.
