The remote host is running PhotoADay, a web-based photo album management software. The installed version fails to sanitize input passed to the β€˜pad_selected’ parameter before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user’s browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
