Description: Many PHP installation tutorials instruct the user to create a PHP file that calls the PHP function 'phpinfo()' for debugging purposes, and various PHP applications may also include such a file by default. By accessing it, a remote attacker can discover a large amount of information about the remote web server configuration to help conduct further attacks, including :

• root/vps of the web server, operating system and PHP components
• Details of the PHP configuration
• Loaded PHP extensions with their configurations
• Server environment variables.
