1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress user with sufficient privileges (e.g., administrator or editor managing galleries) to be logged into a site running Photo Gallery by Supsystic <= 1.21.0, and to be socially engineered into visiting an attacker-controlled page while that session is active (UI:R). The attacker themselves needs no credentials (PR:N), but exploitation is fundamentally limited by the mandatory victim interaction and the requirement that the targeted action lacks CSRF nonce protection; impact is confined to low-integrity/low-availability state changes within the plugin, not the wider site or server. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L, base 5.4) describes a network-borne, low-complexity CSRF requiring no attacker authentication (PR:N) but mandatory victim interaction (UI:R) - a trusted, authenticated WordPress user/administrator must be tricked into visiting an attacker-controlled page while logged in. Impact is limited to low integrity and low availability (I:L/A:L) with no confidentiality loss (C:N), consistent with a state-changing forged request rather than data theft or code execution. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The overwhelming reliance on social engineering of a privileged victim (UI:R) and the modest, non-CIA-critical impact place this firmly in the low-to-moderate real-world-risk band despite the network vector: it is a real but low-priority hardening issue, not a mass-exploitable flaw. There is no data conflict - the description ('Unauthenticated CSRF') aligns cleanly with PR:N/UI:R, where 'unauthenticated' refers to the attacker, not the victim. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious web page or email containing a hidden auto-submitting form that targets a state-changing action in the Photo Gallery by Supsystic plugin. When a logged-in WordPress administrator or editor visits the page, their browser silently submits the forged request using their valid session, altering plugin settings or gallery data. No public exploit code is currently identified, and success depends on catching an authenticated user who is simultaneously logged in. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in the Supsystic Photo Gallery WordPress plugin through version 1.21.0 allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to make a logged-in administrator perform unintended state-changing actions within the plugin, such as modifying gallery settings or content, by tricking them into visiting a malicious page. Exploitation requires the victim to be authenticated and socially engineered into interacting with the attacker's page (UI:R), but the attacker needs no credentials (PR:N), and the impact is limited to low integrity and availability. No public exploit code has been identified, and no vendor patch is available at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; users should monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/gallery-by-supsystic/vulnerability/wordpress-photo-gallery-by-supsystic-plugin-1-21-0-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability) for a fixed version. As a compensating control, consider temporarily disabling the Photo Gallery by Supsystic plugin if it is not essential. If the plugin must remain active, enforce SameSite=Lax or Strict attributes on WordPress authentication cookies to mitigate CSRF attacks, though this may affect cross-site workflows. Additionally, restrict access to the WordPress admin area via IP whitelisting or additional authentication, and educate administrative users about not clicking untrusted links while logged in. These measures reduce exposure but do not eliminate the risk entirely.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic Cross-Site Request Forgery (CWE-352) affecting the WordPress plugin Photo Gallery by Supsystic. The plugin fails to implement or validate anti-CSRF nonces on certain administrative actions, allowing an attacker to craft a request that performs those actions on behalf of a logged-in user. The CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) indicates a network-borne attack of low complexity that requires no attacker authentication but mandates victim interaction. The scope remains unchanged, with no confidentiality impact but low integrity and availability impact, meaning an attacker could alter gallery content or settings and potentially disrupt gallery availability, but cannot gain further access or exfiltrate data. The plugin is widely used in WordPress sites, and the lack of nonce checks is a common oversight in plugin development that can be mitigated by enforcing SameSite cookies or adding nonce verification in code.
