The Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 does not verify that the user acting on an image owns the gallery it belongs to, allowing users granted its gallery-management capability by an administrator to delete, copy and re-tag any image on the site, including images in galleries belonging to other users.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in the WordPress plugin Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes before version 4.5.0 lets a user who has been granted the plugin's gallery-management capability delete, copy, and re-tag images that belong to other users' galleries. The flaw is an IDOR-class (CWE-639) authorization bypass that requires an authenticated WordPress account already holding that capability (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L per our independent assessment; the published score is 4.2 with a more conservative AC:H vector), so anonymous visitors cannot reach it. …
