CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/1427/

DESCRIPTION:
GHC team has reported a vulnerability in Coppermine Photo Gallery,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed via the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" HTTP header is not
properly sanitised before being logged. This can be exploited to
inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an
administrator's browser session in context of an affected site when
the malicious user data is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires access to the comments module.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.3.x. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
