Description
The Photographers galleries plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple shortcode attributes (`w`, `h`, `raw_css`, `look`, etc.) in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to the plugin not properly sanitizing user input or escaping output when inserting these values into HTML attributes and inline styles. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Photographers galleries plugin for WordPress. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize user input or escape output for certain shortcode attributes like 'w', 'h', 'raw_css', and 'look'. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which then execute whenever any user views those pages.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user session data, defacing the website, redirecting users to malicious sites, or performing actions on behalf of other users without their consent.
