In the latest version of PHP-Fusion, the content management system by 
Digitanium (php-fusion.co.uk), there is an SQL Error in messages.php that 
reveals path names and a table name, and someone could possibly manipulate the 
SQL database.
The error is as follows, it is with the Search and Sort option:
/messages.php?folder=inbox&srch_text=a&srch_type=blehblahbleh&sort_type=blahblehblah&srch_submit=Search%20/%20Sort
The query above will give the following error (or something to the effect):


You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your 
MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIKE 'a'' at line 1
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource 
in c:\WWW\removed\data\maincore.php on line 111

The error could be used to obtain classified information about the database and 
the system, and is definitely manipulable.
