Stored XSS in WP Photo Album Plus WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-01

Last updated on: 2026-07-01

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'subtext' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.13.005 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. A contributor-level attacker can embed the malicious [photo] shortcode in a post submitted for review, causing the stored payload to execute when an administrator or any other user views the post.

Executive Summary

The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'subtext' parameter in all versions up to and including 9.1.13.005.

This vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly sanitize input or escape output, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts.

An attacker can embed a malicious [photo] shortcode in a post submitted for review, which will execute the stored script whenever an administrator or any other user views that post.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with contributor-level access to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users viewing the injected content.

Such script execution can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of the victim user.

Because the attack is stored, the malicious payload persists and affects every user who views the compromised post, increasing the potential impact.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the 'subtext' parameter in the WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress. Detection involves identifying posts or pages containing malicious scripts injected through the 'subtext' parameter or embedded [photo] shortcodes.

Since the vulnerability requires contributor-level access to inject scripts, detection can focus on reviewing recent posts submitted for review or published by contributors for suspicious shortcodes or script tags.

There are no specific commands provided in the available resources to detect this vulnerability on your network or system.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include updating the WP Photo Album Plus plugin to a version later than 9.1.13.005 where the vulnerability is fixed.

If an update is not immediately possible, restrict contributor-level user permissions to prevent injection of malicious scripts via the 'subtext' parameter or embedded shortcodes.

Additionally, review and sanitize existing posts for any injected scripts or malicious shortcodes to prevent execution when viewed by administrators or other users.
