Title: PhotoPost vBGallery 'upload.php' Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

PhotoPost vBGallery is a PHP-based photo-sharing application for the vBulletin forum.

The application is prone to a vulnerability that lets remote attackers upload and execute arbitrary script code because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'upload.php' script. User-supplied script code may be uploaded with a '.wmv' extension and then executed from within a forum user's folder.

An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the webserver process.

PhotoPost vBGallery v2.4.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • All Enthusiast Inc PhotoPost vBGallery 2.4.2
