CVE-2025-53257Network attack vector

Authenticated local file exposure via PHP inclusion

Published Jun 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

PHP local file inclusion in Serhii Pasyuk Gmedia Photo Gallery 1.23.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read local files. Published materials do not identify the affected PHP file or request parameter; they establish only that an uncontrolled filename reaches an include or require operation. Low-privileged WordPress access is required, and the consequence is bounded by files readable within the PHP process context.
