Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in SCI Photo Chat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to disclose sensitive information.

1) Requested URLs are not properly sanitised before being returned to the user in an error page. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Input passed via the URL is not properly sanitised before being used to read files. This can be exploited to read the contents of arbitrary files outside the web root via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.4.9. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
