Description:
Tatercrispies has reported a vulnerability in Invision Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the image upload handling. This can exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site by uploading a specially crafted valid image containing embedded HTML and script code with an image file extension not matching the image type (e.g. a valid GIF file with a ".jpg" file extension).
This is related to:
SA17295
Successful exploitation requires that the malicious image is accessed directly in the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser (i.e. not referenced via an image tag).
Solution:
Update to version 2.0.4.
