Technical Details & Description:
================================
A GET cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Netlife Photosuite Pro Content 
Management System.
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious script codes on the client-side of the affected 
web-application.

The vulnerability is located in the `message` value of the `sections/prophoto/key.php` file. Remote attackers are able 
to inject own 
malicious script codes to the client-side of the affected web-application. The request method to inject is GET and the 
attack 
vector is client-side. The attacker inject the payload in the message value to execute the code in key.php.

The security risk of the client-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no web-application user account and 
no user interaction. 
Successful exploitation results in session hijacking, persistent phishings attacks, persistent external redirect and 
malware loads or persistent 
manipulation of affected or connected module context.

Request Method(s):
                                        [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                        [+] sections/prophoto/

Vulnerable File(s):
                                        [+] key.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                        [+] message


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without a web-application user account 
or user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable `message` value in the affected key.php 
file GET method request.
Filter the input and restrict it by disallowing usage of special chars or script code tags to prevent client-side 
injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in Netlife Photosuite Pro web-application 
is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.3)
