WordPress WP Photo Album Plus Plugin Two Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed via the "comname" and "comemail" POST parameters is not properly sanitised in wppa-functions.php before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site if malicious data is viewed.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 6.1.3.
