Comment:

 Hi cashbox0815, there is no way for us to hide every full-path disclosure
 that could be triggered by WordPress or a theme or a plugin (short of a
 auto prepend file) without resorting the rule that display_errors must
 never be enabled on a production site.

 IMO, file paths are guessable 99% of the time anyway and leaking them
 doesn't really matter. Regardless: display_errors must never be enabled on
 a production site.

 If we leak a path even with display_errors turned off (this has happened
 before, such as in an error message), then we'll gladly fix it.

 Thank you for your report. Please email security at wordpress.org next time
 (as the new ticket form requests in multiple places, including a checkbox
 you had to click).
