HTTP: WordPress WP Photo Album Plugin id Parameter Cross Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WordPress WP Photo Album Plugin. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Extended Description
The WP Photo Album plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. WP Photo Album 1.5.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
