Drupal 7.x Search Module - Full Path Disclosure
==============
Summary

Full path disclosure due to insufficient input validation in the search module.

For the error messages to be displayed, php.ini's display_errors must be On.
Authentication: Not Needed

Mitigation

Correct input validation for the "key" parameters
==============

Disclosure Timeline

Reported to vendor on 1 Mar 2012.
Response from vendor:
Disclosure of the path is not considered a security risk.
Drupal has a configuration setting which allows PHP warnings to be printed to the screen for debugging purposes... For production websites, it is a good idea to turn this off, and the messages will not be displayed.
==============
Comments

Unfortunately for them, many sites display errors in production.
