CVE-2004-1581 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in BlackBoard version 1.5.1. Remote attackers can gain sensitive information, specifically server path details, by directly requesting specific PHP files (checkdb.inc.php, admin.inc.php, or cp.inc.php), which then reveal the path through PHP error messages. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity. It is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and requires no authentication, leading to a potential impact of partial confidentiality loss. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting low public attention.
