FOSS Gallery Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability

FOSS Gallery is prone to a vulnerability that lets remote attackers upload and execute arbitrary script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the webserver process. The issue occurs because the application fails to enforce authentication and to check file extensions in a proper manner.

FOSS Gallery 1.0 and prior are vulnerable. Both Admin and Public versions are affected.
