Published: 9 august 2003

Released: 9 august 2003

Name: geeeekShop Shopping Cart System

Affected Systems: 1.4.0

Issue: Remote attackers can know the path of the site

Author: G00db0yzone-h.org

Vendor: http://www.geeeeksoft.com

Description

***********

Zone-h Security Team has discovered a flaw in geeeekShop Shopping Cart
v1.4.0. "geeeekShop is a PHP / MySQL based shopping cart system that is
easy enough for somebody who is new to the internet but powerful enough
for the seasoned veteran."

Details

*******
 
It's possible to make a malformed http request for many files in
geeeekShop Shopping Cart and in doing so trigger an error.
The resulting error message will disclose potentially sensitive
installation
path information to the remote attacker.

Example:

http://www.site.com/shop/?category=xxxxxx&parent=0&page=x&/'

If we do a simple http request for many files in geeeekShop Shopping Cart
we
will have the same problem.

Example:

http://www.site.com/shop/php_files/site.config.php

Solution:

*********

The vendor has been contacted and a patch is not yet produced.

Suggestions:

************

Filter all files.
