SelectaPix is a free (GPL Licence), highly configurable PHP/MySQL

up to 10 jpeg images in one go, and arrange them into albums and
sub-albums.

4) Description of Vulnerabilities
Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in SelectaPix,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Some input is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL
query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.
Examples:
http://[host]/view_album.php?albumID=[code]
http://[host]/popup.php?albumID=2&imageID=[code]
http://[host]/index.php?albumID=[code]
* The "username" and "passwd" parameters passed in "admin/member.php".
This can further be exploited to bypass the authentication process and
access the administration section.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled
(except for the "albumID" parameter).
2) Input passed to the "albumID" parameter in "popup.php" and
"view_album.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.31. Prior
versions may also be affected.
======================================================================
5) Solution
Update to version 1.4.
