DescriptionCVE.org

The Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 does not correctly validate the extensions of files extracted from an uploaded archive, due to a variable being reused as a loop counter so that the check always passes, allowing users granted its gallery-management capability by an administrator to write arbitrary files into a web-accessible directory and, on hosts that execute them, run arbitrary code.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write - escalating to remote code execution on hosts that execute PHP from upload directories - affects the WordPress plugin Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes in all versions before 4.5.0. The flaw sits in the archive-extraction routine: a variable is reused as a loop counter, so the filename-extension check always passes and a user who has been granted the plugin's gallery-management capability by an administrator can place an attacker-controlled file (including a .php payload) into a web-accessible gallery directory; the CVSS vector (PR:H, UI:N) confirms this is an authenticated, elevated-privilege path rather than a subscriber or anonymous one. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account that an administrator has explicitly granted the plugin's gallery-management capability (PR:H) - this is not a default subscriber or unauthenticated path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine mid-to-high priority finding for sites running the affected plugin, but its severity is meaningfully gated by privilege. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade the plugin to version 4.5.0 or later, which is the fix line identified in the advisory and in the EUVD affected range (<4.5.0); verify the update through the WordPress plugin dashboard or the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/7c1443ae-14b4-43ca-bb1a-b6a3f9b27c57/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress installations for the Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes plugin and update any instance running a version before 4.5.0 to version 4.5.0 or later (Vendor-released patch: 4.5.0); if immediate patching is not possible, temporarily disable the plugin or revoke the gallery-management capability from all non-administrator roles and restrict it to trusted administrators only. …
