Title: PAFileDB ID Variable Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
paFileDB is a PHP-based database of files. It supports accounts to control the accessibility of these files and offers password-protection of downloads.
paFileDB is reported prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize URI data supplied to the pafiledb.php script. In particular, data supplied via the 'id' URI parameter is not sufficiently sanitized before being included in dynamically generated web content. As a result, an attacker could embed hostile HTML or script code in a link to the web application. This could allow an attacker to cause hostile content to be rendered in the browser of a victim user who visits a malicious link.
An attacker may potentially exploit this to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. Other attacks are also possible.
This issue is reported to exist in version 3.x, and it is possible that other versions are affected as well.
