Description

The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'thumb_url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.46 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Exploitation requires that the authenticated victim holds the manage_options capability, as the editimage_bwg AJAX action performs a capability check but no nonce verification, meaning the payload can be delivered via a crafted GET request without a CSRF token.

Executive Summary

This is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Photo Gallery by 10Web WordPress plugin. It allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts via the 'thumb_url' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The vulnerability exists in versions up to 1.8.46.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect WordPress sites using the Photo Gallery by 10Web plugin versions up to 1.8.46. Check for suspicious GET requests targeting the editimage_bwg AJAX action with the thumb_url parameter containing script payloads. Review server logs for unusual activity.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could trick a user with the manage_options capability into clicking a malicious link, executing the injected script. This could lead to theft of session cookies, account takeover, or defacement of the WordPress site.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, potentially violating GDPR (data protection) or HIPAA (health data privacy) if sensitive user data is exposed. Compliance may be impacted if the site handles regulated data.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Photo Gallery by 10Web plugin to the latest version beyond 1.8.46. Disable the plugin if updates are unavailable. Implement strict input validation for the thumb_url parameter and enforce CSRF tokens for AJAX actions.
