The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/wp-content/plugins/flash-album-gallery/lib/hitcounter.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "pid" variable. Attacker can alter queries to the application SQL database, execute arbitrary queries to the database, compromise the application, access or modify sensitive data, or exploit various vulnerabilities in the underlying SQL database. The vulnerability also exists due to failure in the "/wp-content/plugins/flash-album-gallery/admin/news.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "want2Read" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows remote attacker to obtain content of arbitrary file accessible within the context of vulnerable application.
