Critical

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Photo Gallery WordPress plugin versions 1.6.3 and earlier

Description The issue arises from the improper escaping of the filter tag parameter in the SQL query, allowing for SQL Injection attacks. This occurs when user input from the $ POST['filter tag'] parameter is directly appended to an SQL query without proper sanitization.

Recommendations For versions 1.6.3 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.6.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SQL query that utilizes the filter tag parameter until a patch is available. Avoid using the filter tag parameter in affected queries until the issue is resolved.
