Movable Type /mt/mt-check.cgi System Information Disclosure

Medium

Synopsis

The Movable Type installation on the remote web server is leaking information via mt-check.cgi. This CGI determines if the Perl modules required by Movable Type are installed, and is only intended to be used prior to installation. It discloses path information, operating system type, Perl version, and the versions of several Perl modules. A remote attacker could use this information to mount further attacks.
