Vulnerability Overview
The NextGen Cu3er Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Multiple Full Path Disclosures in versions up to, and including, 0.1 via the xml_made_by_me.php file. This can allow unauthenticated attackers to disclose the full path to a resource on the web server.
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 privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in NextGen Cu3er Gallery <= 0.1 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for NextGen Cu3er Gallery yet, so installs running <= 0.1 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
