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.
