Secunia

A vulnerability has been discovered in InterPhoto Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests, without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change a user's password in the user section or add an administrative user in the admin section if a logged-in user visits a specially crafted web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.4.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Edit the source code to ensure that HTTP requests are properly verified. Do not browse untrusted web sites or follow links from untrusted sources while being logged-in to the application.
