Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction, as confirmed by the CVSS vector (PR:N, UI:N, AV:N, AC:L). The Envira Photo Gallery plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site running a version at or below 1.12.5. The WordPress site must be network-accessible to the attacker. No non-default configuration or special server-side condition has been documented as a prerequisite - the vulnerability is present in the plugin's default installed state. Limiting factors: impact is constrained to low integrity and low availability effects (C:N per CVSS), so confidential data exfiltration is not a confirmed outcome; exploitation does not escalate to full site compromise based on available data.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) is driven by AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N - network-reachable, trivially exploitable with zero privileges or user interaction, consistent with the 'Unauthenticated' tag from Patchstack. The limited impact metrics (I:L, A:L, C:N) constrain the score from reaching high severity. No EPSS data was provided in the available intelligence, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified. No CISA KEV listing exists, and no public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified, reducing the urgency compared to actively exploited issues. Real-world risk is best characterized as moderate-to-elevated for affected WordPress deployments: the near-frictionless attack conditions (no auth, low complexity, network accessible) lower the barrier for opportunistic scanning campaigns against WordPress sites, even if impact per exploitation event is limited. The absence of a confirmed patch version in available data is a meaningful gap - administrators cannot verify remediation without independently checking the WordPress plugin repository or Patchstack advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker scans for WordPress sites running Envira Photo Gallery and sends a crafted HTTP POST or GET request directly to an unprotected plugin endpoint (such as an admin-ajax.php action or REST route) without any session token or credentials. Because the plugin does not verify the caller's identity or capability, the request succeeds and the attacker can modify gallery settings, delete or alter image entries, or trigger actions that degrade site availability. No proof-of-concept code has been publicly identified, but the low complexity of the attack vector makes it suitable for automated scanning tools.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026

Broken access control in the Envira Photo Gallery WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.12.5) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authorization checks and perform unauthorized operations affecting site integrity and availability. The flaw stems from missing authorization enforcement (CWE-862) on one or more plugin endpoints, exploitable without any credentials or user interaction across default WordPress deployments. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the unauthenticated network vector keeps real-world risk elevated for any site running the affected plugin.

RemediationAI

Administrators should update the Envira Photo Gallery plugin to a version released after 1.12.5 as soon as a patched release is confirmed available in the WordPress plugin repository; an exact fixed version number was not independently confirmed in available intelligence at time of analysis. Consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/envira-gallery-lite/vulnerability/wordpress-envira-photo-gallery-plugin-1-12-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability for patch confirmation. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to WordPress admin-facing and AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and any REST API routes registered by the plugin) at the web server or WAF layer to authenticated sessions only - note this may break legitimate unauthenticated gallery functionality. Alternatively, temporarily deactivating the plugin eliminates exposure entirely but also removes gallery functionality for site visitors. Web application firewall rules targeting unauthorized parameter manipulation on gallery endpoints may provide partial mitigation with lower operational impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability affects the Envira Photo Gallery plugin for WordPress, developed by Awesomemotive (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:awesomemotive:envira_photo_gallery:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a PHP-based gallery management extension commonly installed on WordPress sites to manage and display photo galleries. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: the plugin exposes one or more AJAX handlers, REST API endpoints, or admin-facing actions without implementing WordPress capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) or nonce verification tied to an authenticated session. This allows any remote party - including completely unauthenticated visitors - to invoke privileged functionality. The CVSS impact metrics (I:L, A:L, C:N) suggest the exposed actions can alter gallery data or disrupt availability but do not directly expose sensitive information.
