description=[[
Crawls a web server and attempts to find PHP files vulnerable to reflected
cross site scripting via the variable <code>$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]</code>.

This script crawls the webserver to create a list of PHP files and then sends
an attack vector/probe to identify PHP_SELF cross site scripting
vulnerabilities.  PHP_SELF XSS refers to reflected cross site scripting
vulnerabilities caused by the lack of sanitation of the variable
<code>$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]</code> in PHP scripts. This variable is commonly
used in PHP scripts that display forms and when the script file name  is
needed.

Examples of Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities in the variable $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]:
* http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/37351
* http://software-security.sans.org/blog/2011/05/02/spot-vuln-percentage
* http://websec.ca/advisories/view/xss-vulnerabilities-mantisbt-1.2.x

The attack vector/probe used is: <code>/'"/><script>alert(1)</script></code>
