Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the jumpmenu function in functions.php for paFileDB 3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the URL parameters, which is not properly cleansed in the $pageurl variable, as demonstrated using pafiledb.php.
CVE-2005-0723
MEDIUMCVSS v2 · 4.34.3—
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 4.3 — v2 rates that MEDIUM (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 0.9% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
