Summary
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress up to version 9.0.11.006 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the wppa_user_upload function. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts in photo album descriptions.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes execution of malicious scripts in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or other attacks.
Recommendation
Update the WP Photo Album Plus plugin to a version that includes the security fix.

- CVE-2026-10095Medium
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'subtext' parameter in versions up to and including 9.1.13.005 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts.
- CVE-2026-39511Critical
There is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in WP Photo Album Plus versions up to 9.1.08.001.
- CVE-2026-96278High
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via REQUEST_URI Session History in all versions up to and including 9.3.03.002 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Unauthenticated attackers can inject scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page, using a bypass that converts HTML entities back to live tags.
- CVE-2026-93774High
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WP Photo Album Plus versions up to 9.3.02.002.
- CVE-2026-87909High
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress (all versions) is vulnerable to remote code execution via the wppa_image_magick function. Insufficient sanitization of the multipart upload filename before concatenation into an ImageMagick command executed via exec(), with only escapeshellcmd() applied to the whole command. An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access can execute code on the server.
- CVE-2026-18579High
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 9.2.08.003) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The nonce failure path for the getshortcodedrenderedfenodelay action serves as the log-write trigger, making the exploit fully reachable by unauthenticated callers.
- CVE-2026-18962Medium
The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.09.002 does not check that the current user is allowed to upload into the album they target when processing a front-end upload. This allows any authenticated user, such as a Subscriber, to upload files into albums owned by other users or by the administrator. Exploitation requires the plugin's front-end user upload feature to be enabled, which is not the default.
- CVE-2026-18049High
The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.07.002 does not perform any capability or nonce check on one of its public endpoint actions and builds an option name from a client-supplied value without restricting it to its own options, allowing unauthenticated users to read the value of other autoloaded options whose names end in a matching suffix.
Original NVD description (English source)
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.11.006 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the wppa_user_upload function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in the photo album descriptions that execute in a victim's browser.
