Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in 4images which could be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information.

1) Path disclosure weakness in 4images
The weakness is caused by incorrect handling of exceptions in includes/page_header.php and global.php scripts which could be exploited to reveal full path to application`s installation directory.
