Stack Trace Disclosure (PHP)

Severity: Low

Summary#

Invicti identified a stack trace disclosure (PHP) in the target web server's HTTP response.

Impact#

An attacker can obtain information such as:

PHP version.
Physical file path of PHP files.
Information about the generated exception and possibly source code, SQL queries, etc.

This information might help an attacker gain more information and potentially focus on the development of further attacks for the target system.

Remediation#

Apply following changes on your php.ini file to prevent information leakage by applying custom error pages.

display_errors = Off

If you want to set it within PHP code, you can use the following code:

ini_set('display_errors', 'Off');
