Description:
Kacper has discovered a vulnerability in Imageview, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "user_settings" cookie in index.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
If the file upload function for an album is enabled, this can further be exploited to execute arbitrary code by uploading and including a file containing malicious PHP code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Upgrade to version 6.
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
