Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'subtext' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.13.005 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. A contributor-level attacker can embed the malicious [photo] shortcode in a post submitted for review, causing the stored payload to execute when an administrator or any other user views the post.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in WP Photo Album Plus (WordPress plugin, all versions through 9.1.13.005) allows contributor-level authenticated attackers to inject persistent JavaScript payloads via the unsanitized 'subtext' parameter of the [photo] shortcode. The CVSS scope change (S:C) is the critical amplifier: a low-privileged contributor can embed malicious shortcodes in posts submitted for editorial review, causing the stored payload to execute in administrator browser sessions when the content is previewed - enabling session hijacking and potential full site takeover. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session with at minimum contributor-level role access - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible per the CVSS PR:L metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.4 score reflects network accessibility (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low privilege required (PR:L), and a scope change (S:C) delivering partial confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds or obtains a contributor-level WordPress account crafts a post containing a [photo] shortcode where the 'subtext' parameter embeds a JavaScript payload (e.g., a cookie-stealing script pointing to an attacker-controlled endpoint). The post is submitted for editorial review through the normal WordPress workflow. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade WP Photo Album Plus to version 9.2.01.001 or later; this version is identified as the patched release via the SVN changeset comparison between the 9.1.13.005 and 9.2.01.001 tags (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Fwp-photo-album-plus/tags/9.1.13.005&new_path=%2Fwp-photo-album-plus/tags/9.2.01.001). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
