Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The Photo Gallery WordPress plugin through 1.6.3 does not properly escape the $_POST['filter_tag'] parameter, which is appended to an SQL query, making SQL Injection attacks possible.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.6.3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
