The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack.Description
According to its banner, the version of Gallery hosted on the remote web server is prone to script insertion attacks because it does not sanitize malicious EXIF data stored in image files. Using a specially crafted image file, an attacker can exploit this flaw to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be executed in a user's browser within the context of the affected application.Solution
Upgrade to Gallery 1.5-pl1 / 1.5.1-RC3 or later.See Also
