The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated WordPress account with Author-level capabilities or higher on a site running Photo Gallery by 10Web version 1.8.44 or earlier, with the plugin's shortcode functionality in use. The attacker injects the payload through Shortcode Attributes; the stored script only fires when a user subsequently loads the affected page, so impact depends on a victim (ideally a higher-privileged admin/editor) viewing the injected content. Exploitation is limited by the Author-level trust requirement - anonymous or Subscriber-level users cannot exploit it - but no additional non-default configuration is needed beyond normal plugin use.

Impact

This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a critical one. The vendor CVSS of 6.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) is driven largely by the scope change (S:C), which is standard for stored XSS in a web app where injected script executes in another user's browser context. The real limiting factor is PR:L: exploitation requires an authenticated account with Author-level access or above, which is a meaningful trust barrier - this is not an anonymous-internet-facing flaw. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the input, so there is no signal of active or automated exploitation. SSVC framework data was not provided. Overall this is a typical authenticated stored-XSS in a widely deployed plugin: worth patching promptly given the plugin's large install base, but the Author-level prerequisite and lack of exploitation signals place it below unauthenticated RCE-class emergencies. Confidentiality and integrity impacts are rated Low (C:L/I:L) and availability is None (A:N), consistent with script injection rather than data destruction.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained (or been granted) an Author-level WordPress account crafts a Photo Gallery shortcode with a malicious attribute value that is stored without sufficient sanitization. When any user - including a higher-privileged administrator - views the page containing that shortcode, the injected JavaScript executes in their session, enabling session/cookie theft or actions on their behalf. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 17, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the Photo Gallery by 10Web - Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 1.8.44) lets an authenticated attacker holding Author-level capabilities or higher inject arbitrary JavaScript through the plugin's shortcode attributes, which is then persisted and executed in the browser of any user who subsequently loads the injected page. The practical impact is limited - the payload only fires when a victim, ideally a higher-privileged administrator or editor, views the poisoned content, and the attacker must already hold a legitimate Author account - and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, with no CISA KEV entry indicating active exploitation. The issue is rated moderate (CVSS 6.4) rather than critical, reflecting the authenticated prerequisite and the requirement that a victim visit the affected page.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Photo Gallery by 10Web - Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin past version 1.8.44 as soon as a release incorporating the upstream fix is published; the fix is visible in the WordPress plugin Trac changeset 3687152 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3687152/), so an upstream fix is available in the plugin code, though a separately tagged patched version number is not confirmed from the available data - verify the changelog on the plugin's WordPress.org page before assuming the version currently shown is remediated. If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by auditing and removing the ability of low-trust accounts to publish content: set new user defaults to Subscriber rather than Author, review existing Author- and Contributor-level accounts, and scan posts and pages for gallery shortcodes with suspicious attribute values - the trade-off is that this disrupts normal editorial workflows for legitimate contributors. Temporarily deactivating the plugin eliminates the vulnerability entirely but removes all galleries from the site, and any shortcodes already stored in content will render as literal text. A WAF or WordPress security plugin with XSS filtering can block obvious payload patterns in shortcode input, but it is a detection-layer mitigation that can be bypassed and should not replace patching. Note also that any previously injected content persists independently of the vulnerable code path, so after upgrading, re-scan stored posts and pages for residual script payloads before considering the site clean.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin that renders image galleries from shortcodes embedded in posts and pages; the plugin parses user-supplied shortcode attributes and writes the resulting markup into page output. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) is the root cause: attribute values are neither sanitized on input nor escaped on output, so an Author-level user who can create or edit content containing the plugin shortcode can place script-bearing attribute values that survive into the stored page and execute in the victim's browser context. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N is consistent with this: network-reachable and low attack complexity, but PR:L confirms the Author-level authenticated requirement, and the scope change (S:C) reflects that the vulnerable shortcode handler affects resources beyond its own security scope - namely the rendered page and the browsers of other users. No confidentiality of the WordPress database or server-side code execution is implied; the impact is confined to low-integrity, low-confidentiality browser-side effects. The plugin is identified in CPE data as cpe:2.3:a:10web:photo_gallery_by_10web_-_mobile-friendly_image_gallery, a standard WordPress.org-hosted plugin distributed to all sites that install it.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Photo Gallery by 10Web - Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Shortcode Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.44 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
