DESCRIPTION:
Kacper has discovered a vulnerability in Imageview, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or
compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "user_settings" cookie in index.php is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

If the file upload function for an album is enabled, this can further
be exploited to execute arbitrary code by uploading and including a
file containing malicious PHP code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
