Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Paged Gallery plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 0.7

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the gallery shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For Paged Gallery plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 0.7, update to a version higher than 0.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the gallery shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
