What is CVE-2026-17013?

The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress versions prior to 9.2.07.002 is susceptible to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) due to improper sanitization and escaping of input parameters. This weakness can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers, who can craft malicious links that, when clicked, execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users viewing the galleries. Such attacks could lead to significant privacy breaches or manipulation of session information, making it imperative for users to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

WP Photo Album Plus 0 < 9.2.07.002
