Discussion
TYPO3 SmoothGallery Extension Cross Site Scripting And Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities
The TYPO3 SmoothGallery extension is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage these issues to obtain potentially sensitive information and 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.
TYPO3 SmoothGallery versions prior to 1.5.2 are vulnerable.
