| Detailed Description |
The Gallery integrated with PostNuke, according to its version number, has an access validation vulnerability. Gallery is a Web-based photo album program written in PHP. Gallery versions prior to 1.5.1-RC2 could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. This security issue is caused due to incorrect use of the global "$name" variable to determine the gallery name in the "classes/postnuke0.7.1/User.php" script. This can be exploited by PostNuke users with any administrative privileges to bypass security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to other user's albums.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of Gallery on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
