At a glance

CVE-2025-14455 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 3.6.7. It carries a CVSS score of 5.4 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Contributor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 3.6.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed December 2025, reported by JongHwan Shin (zzzsleep).

Vulnerability Overview

The Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform actions on gallery management functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete, modify, or clone galleries created by any user, including administrators.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Reaching this weakness in Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid <= 3.6.7 takes an account at Contributor level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid the fix is 3.6.8: builds <= 3.6.7 are affected, anything from 3.6.8 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 3.6.8, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid 3.6.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
