CVE-2006-2680

Vulnerability

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in AZ Photo Album Script Pro's index.php page, specifically through the gazpart parameter. This is a reflected XSS flaw that does not require authentication but depends on user interaction (clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page). Affected versions include the Pro release; the exact version range is not specified in available references [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a URI that includes malicious JavaScript or HTML within the gazpart parameter value. The attacker must entice a victim to click on the crafted link (e.g., via email or a third-party site). The injected script executes in the context of the target website, with no special privileges required for the attacker beyond network access to serve or distribute the link [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to perform actions that the victim can perform on the site, such as viewing, modifying, or exfiltrating sensitive data within the photo album context. This may include session hijacking, defacement, or redirecting users to malicious sites, leading to full compromise of the victim's session on the vulnerable application [1].

Mitigation

No official patch or updated version has been identified in the available references. As of May 2006, the vendor had not released a fix. Users are advised to restrict access to the script, validate input on the gazpart parameter, or implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to filter XSS payloads. The product may no longer be supported [1].
