Synopsis

files via a web interface.

Description

sanitized before being processed. The Ampache development team also
reported an error when handling user sessions.

Impact

possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL code. He could
also entice a user to open a specially crafted link to steal the user's
session.

Workaround
