Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in GRAND Flash Album Gallery which could be exploited to perform SQL injection attacks and gain access to sensitive information.

1) SQL injection vulnerabilities in GRAND Flash Album Gallery
The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "pid" parameter in wp-content/plugins/flash-album-gallery/lib/hitcounter.php.
