 Details
Description: Several input validation flaws were reported in the paFileDB web site file management software. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks against paFileDB users.



A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running paFileDB and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.



According to the report, the "Rate File", "Email to Friend", and "Download" functions are affected.



Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:



http://ersatz.n3t.net/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=rate&id=4?""

http://ersatz.n 3t.net/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=email&id=4?""

http://ersatz.n3t.net/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=download&id=4?"alert('Testing')"



Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated

with the site running paFileDB, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
