Admin-level stored XSS via unescaped image fields
Published Jun 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored XSS in Image Gallery – Grid Gallery before 1.1.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through image fields. Image field values are stored without adequate sanitization or output escaping and later rendered in WordPress pages. Administrator-level access is required, and exploitation remains possible when unfiltered_html is disabled; another user must load the affected page for the script to run.
