This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Input passed to the "file" parameter in thumbnail.php is not properly verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files from local resources. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
