Vulnerability Overview

The Photo Gallery by Ays – Responsive Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary HTML in pages that will render whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.7.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
