===== [Vulnerability Information]
===========================================
Category: Improper Neutralization of an Input while Generating a Web Page.

('Cross-site Scripting') [CWE-79]
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N


===== [Overview] ======================================================
Affected system: Envira Gallery – Lite Edition
Software version: Lite - 1.8.3.2
Impacts: The browser of the end-user doesn't have a way to know whether the
script should be trusted or not, and ends up executing it. Since the
browser believes that the script is from a trusted source, it can access
any cookies, session tokens, and other sensitive information that is
retained by the browser and used on the website. The script can also be
used to redirect the victim into a malicious website, in order to perform a
phishing attack or steal information.


==== [Detailed description] ================================================
