Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

The attack can lead to user data theft, session hijacking, or malware distribution in the victim's browser context.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest patched version. Additionally, consider adding extra protections such as Content Security Policy (CSP).

Original NVD description (English source)

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. 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 bypass works because esc_url_raw() strips literal angle brackets but retains HTML entities, which wppaEntityDecode() silently converts back to live HTML tags before jQuery('#wppa-modal-container').html() renders them.
