Discussion

EncapsGallery Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability and File Upload Vulnerability

EncapsGallery is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and a file-upload vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

EncapsGallery 2.0.2 is vulnerable to both of these issues; EncapsGallery 2.0.4 is vulnerable to the file-upload issue only.
