Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute for users visiting the affected page, potentially leading to data theft or session hijacking.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version newer than 9.2.08.003 or disable it if no fix is available.

Original NVD description (English source)

The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.2.08.003 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The nonce failure path for the getshortcodedrenderedfenodelay action serves as the log-write trigger rather than an access barrier — a deliberately failed nonce check causes wppa_log() to record the attacker-supplied X-Forwarded-For value to disk, making the exploit fully reachable by unauthenticated callers via the wp_ajax_nopriv_wppa endpoint.
