DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Ansel, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and
script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed to the "image" parameter is not properly sanitised
before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed to the album name field is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site when the main page or a malicious album
is viewed.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed on version 2.1. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2:
