DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.09.002 does not check that the current user is allowed to upload into the album they target when it processes a front-end upload, allowing any authenticated user, such as a Subscriber, to upload files into albums owned by other users or by the administrator. Exploitation requires the WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.09.002's front-end user upload feature to be enabled, which is not the default.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient authorization in WP Photo Album Plus (all versions before 9.2.09.002) allows any authenticated WordPress user-including low-privilege Subscriber accounts-to upload files into photo albums owned by other users or administrators. The flaw is rooted in CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the plugin's front-end upload endpoint accepts a caller-supplied album identifier without verifying ownership, enabling cross-user content injection. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two specific conditions must both be true for exploitation to succeed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.3 Medium score reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only authenticated subscriber-level access with a narrow integrity-only impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or obtains a Subscriber-level WordPress account on a target site running a vulnerable version of WP Photo Album Plus with the front-end upload feature enabled. Using the publicly available POC referenced by WPScan, the attacker crafts an HTTP upload request that specifies an administrator-owned album's ID as the target, bypassing the missing ownership check and depositing arbitrary files into that album without authorization.
Remediation Update WP Photo Album Plus to version 9.2.09.002 or later, which is the confirmed patched release per the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/146079f7-d4e5-4f1e-a715-f681fc33ed6a/) and ENISA EUVD-2026-57104. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
