Description
Smartor Photo Album for phpBB contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'bsid' variable upon submission to the 'album_comment.php' script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
NOTE: Subsequent examination after vendor dispute suggests there are no occurances of a "bsid" variable in the Smartor Photo Album distribution. It is possible this issue applies to custom installations, or unsanitized variables in phpBB are passed to this script.
