Summary
Dan Rossiter Document Gallery, from n/a through 5.1.1, contains a reflected cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). Input is not neutralized before it is placed in generated web pages, so injected script runs in the browser of the user. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into interacting with a crafted link, and the script can act within the context of the affected site with low impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability.
