Summary

The Photo Gallery by 10Web WordPress plugin, prior to version 1.8.31, contains a critical stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw originates from the plugin's failure to properly sanitize and escape certain settings, enabling high-privilege users, such as administrators, to execute harmful scripts. Importantly, this vulnerability may be exploited even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite configurations. As a result, this presents a significant risk for WordPress sites utilizing this plugin, highlighting the necessity for prompt updating and vigilant security practices.
