Summary

The Photographers galleries plugin for WordPress up to version 1.1.8 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple shortcode attributes (e.g., 'w', 'h', 'raw_css', 'look'). The plugin fails to properly sanitize user input or escape output when inserting these values into HTML attributes and inline styles, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browser of users, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or further attacks.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest patched version. If not available, restrict use of the shortcode to trusted users.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Photographers galleries plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple shortcode attributes (`w`, `h`, `raw_css`, `look`, etc.) in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to the plugin not properly sanitizing user input or escaping output when inserting these values into HTML attributes and inline styles. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
