Time to release a proof of concept exploit for this. I am sure the
crackers will already be exploiting this in the wild.

If you remember from my original advisory, our attack was limited due
to our attack being passed through PHP's basename function. To get
around this we borrow the characters from document.location. I wanted
an exploit that was simple and compact.
