Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A GET cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Netlife Photosuite Pro Content Management System.  
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious script codes on the client-side of the affected web-application.  
  
The vulnerability is located in the `message` value of the `sections/prophoto/key.php` file. Remote attackers are able to inject own   
malicious script codes to the client-side of the affected web-application. The request method to inject is GET and the attack   
vector is client-side. The attacker inject the payload in the message value to execute the code in key.php.  
  
The security risk of the client-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.3.   
Exploitation of the non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no web-application user account and no user interaction.   
Successful exploitation results in session hijacking, persistent phishings attacks, persistent external redirect and malware loads or persistent   
manipulation of affected or connected module context.
