    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.
