Summary

Webasyst Framework through 4.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Photos app. The album url value is not escaped inside an HTML attribute (CWE-79), so input can break out of the attribute. An authenticated backend user with album edit rights can save a url value that runs JavaScript in administrators' backend sessions.
