TITLE:
WordPress DM Albums Plugin Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37119

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37119/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the DM Albums plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass
certain security restrictions, and by malicious people to bypass
certain security restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

1) The plugin does not properly restrict access to the
dm-albums/wp-dm-albums-ajax.php script. This can be exploited to e.g.
delete album folders by calling the script directly.

2) Input passed to the "delete_album" parameter in
dm-albums/wp-dm-albums-ajax.php is not properly sanitised before
being used to delete album folders. This can be exploited to delete
folders outside of the albums root folder via directory traversal
attacks.

3) The plugin allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. delete album folders when a
logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1, which fixes vulnerability #1 and partially
fixes vulnerability #2 (e.g. Windows systems are still affected).

Do not visit untrusted sites or follow untrusted links.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1, 2) safety
3) Reported by an anonymous person.
