Unauthenticated image-comment deletion via unchecked handler
Published Jan 21, 2026 · Updated Jan 21, 2026
Missing authorization in Photo Gallery by 10Web 1.8.36 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary image comments. The Pro-only delete_comment() handler performs deletion without checking the requester's capabilities. A WordPress site must use the Pro image-comment feature; the resulting impact is limited to deletion of gallery-comment data.
