I found that publish_xp.php does not appear to correctly check for an authenticated user in Gallery 1.5.3. The remainder of “select-album” code is executed with anonymous user session. This is illustrated below:

Line 205 of publish_xp.php should be updated from:
205 - if (empty($gallery->album) || empty($set_albumName))
To:
205 - elseif (empty($gallery->album) || empty($set_albumName)) {
Once updated, the anonymous user will get the intended error message displayed.

Is there another preferred channel for security or bug related issues? I think I may poke around some more to see what I can find.
