Configuration
Script in Sources/Admin.php files are not protected against direct access. A remote user can access the file to cause the system to display an error message that indicates the installation path. The resulting error message will disclose potentially sensitive installation path information to the remote attacker.
Disable this suite or upgrade to the latest version and limit unwanted connections and communications with firewalling. Change the default directory of the application to make automated scans harder.
