Description
Geeklog File Management Plugin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "lid" parameter upon submission to the brokenfile.php script. This could allow a user to send a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary code on the server leading to a loss of integrity.
Note: This plugin is an optional package that is not distributed with Geeklog.
