MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target WordPress site must have the Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid plugin installed, active, and running version 3.6.11 or earlier. The attacker must hold at least a low-privileged authenticated WordPress account (PR:L per CVSS vector), such as a subscriber or contributor role - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available CVSS data. No non-default configuration is required beyond having the plugin active. Exploitation is limited by the authentication prerequisite (reduces opportunistic/automated mass exploitation), the unchanged scope (S:U, no lateral movement to other site components), and the confidentiality-only impact (C:L, no write or denial-of-service capability confirmed). Sites that disable open user registration and have no untrusted authenticated users are not realistically at risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects a constrained real-world impact: the attack vector is network-accessible (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), but requires a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L), limiting opportunistic mass exploitation. Scope is unchanged (S:U) and impact is limited to partial confidentiality exposure (C:L) with no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N). No EPSS score was provided in the available data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and no publicly available exploit code was identified at time of analysis. The Patchstack 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests the access control bypass may allow a subscriber-level or contributor-level WordPress user to reach functionality intended for editors or administrators. In practice, risk is highest on sites where untrusted authenticated users exist (e.g., membership sites, WooCommerce stores, multisite installs). For single-admin sites, exploitability is further constrained by the limited pool of authenticated users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or obtains a low-privilege WordPress account (e.g., subscriber) on a target site running Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid 3.6.11 or earlier. The attacker sends a crafted authenticated HTTP request to the plugin's unprotected endpoint - such as an admin-ajax.php action or REST route - that bypasses the missing capability check, gaining read access to gallery data or plugin settings normally restricted to higher-privileged roles. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and absence of required user interaction make manual exploitation straightforward for any attacker familiar with WordPress plugin authorization patterns. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026
Missing Authorization in the Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid WordPress plugin (by WP Chill) allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control, resulting in unauthorized read access to restricted data. All plugin versions through 3.6.11 are affected per NVD and Patchstack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the limited confidentiality impact (C:L) and authentication requirement (PR:L) constrain real-world blast radius, though the vulnerability remains a valid risk for multi-tenant or shared-access WordPress deployments.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update the Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid plugin beyond version 3.6.11 as soon as a patched release is available from WP Chill. No exact fix version is independently confirmed from the available data - the Patchstack advisory at the reference URL should be consulted to identify the specific remediated release version. Until a patch is confirmed and applied, compensating controls include restricting WordPress user registration to prevent untrusted users from obtaining low-privileged accounts (Settings > General > Membership), and auditing existing low-privileged users (subscribers, contributors) to remove any that are unnecessary. WordPress site owners using security plugins such as Wordfence or Patchstack's own firewall may be able to apply virtual patching rules that block exploitation of the specific misconfigured endpoint. Note that disabling the plugin entirely eliminates the attack surface but removes gallery functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a failure to verify that an authenticated user possesses the necessary permissions before executing a sensitive operation. In the WordPress plugin ecosystem, this typically manifests as AJAX handlers, REST API endpoints, or admin-ajax.php hooks that check only for user authentication (is_user_logged_in()) but not for capability or role (current_user_can()). The affected product is confirmed by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wp_chill:image_photo_gallery_final_tiles_grid:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* as the 'Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid' plugin developed by WP Chill, a gallery/portfolio plugin for WordPress. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates the flaw is reachable over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required beyond holding a low-privileged account, and scope is unchanged with only a limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact.
