Stored script execution via unescaped album description

Published Oct 16, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Piwigo 14.5.0 allows remote attackers to run script in a user's browser through an album Description. The album administration workflow stores and later renders the Description value without neutralizing executable HTML or script markup. A user must load the affected album content; execution remains in the browser context, with no reported service interruption.
