Summary

The Photo Gallery Plugin for WordPress, prior to version 3.59.9, is susceptible to a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain image settings. This flaw may allow users with elevated privileges, such as Administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite setups. This introduces significant risks for website integrity and user security, requiring immediate attention and mitigation.
