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:

Solution:

The vendor has been contacted and a patch is not yet produced.
