| Detailed Description |
A version of Coppermine Photo Gallery which is older or as old as than version 1.3.0 is detected as installed on the host. Coppermine Photo Gallery, developed by Gregory Demar, is a freely available PHP-based image gallery script that uses a MySQL backend database. Coppermine Photo Gallery versions 1.3.0 and earlier could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR parameter, caused by a vulnerability in the 'include/init.inc.php' script when logging user comments. This vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the Coppermine Photo Gallery installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
