## Description

SAXON 5.4, with display_errors enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via (1) a direct request for news.php, (2) an invalid use of a newsid array parameter to admin/edit-item.php, and possibly unspecified vectors related to additional scripts in (3) admin/, (4) rss/, and (5) the root directory of the installation, which reveal the path in various error messages.
