CVE-2026-2497Network attack vector

Editor-level SQL injection via stored order keys

Published Aug 16, 2026 · Updated Aug 16, 2026

SQL injection in Gallery by BestWebSoft 4.7.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read data via crafted gallery_order{post_id} keys. The gllr_save_postdata() handler stores unsanitized POST array keys in post metadata, which later gallery queries use without prepared statements or escaping. Reachability requires Editor-level access or higher; published records identify database extraction and query manipulation, not a separate code-execution path.
