Gallery < 2.0.3 IP Spoofing

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21017

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an IP spoofing issue.

Description

The version of Gallery hosted on the remote web server allows an attacker to spoof the IP address with a bogus 'X_FORWARDED_FOR' HTTP header.

In addition, an authenticated attacker can reportedly leverage this flaw to launch cross-site scripting attacks by adding comments to a photo. The application also reportedly fails to validate a session id before using it, which can be used to delete arbitrary files on the remote host subject to the privileges of the web server user id;
however, Nessus has not tested for these additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade to Gallery 2.0.3 or later.
