Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Picture Gallery – Frontend Image Uploads, AJAX Photo List plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.5.22

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the videowhisper picture upload guest shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.5.22, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the videowhisper picture upload guest shortcode until a patch is available.
