Stored XSS via unescaped gallery description
Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Envira Gallery 1.12.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts into gallery pages. The REST gallery update path stores the description configuration field without sufficient sanitization, and the shortcode renderer emits it without output escaping. Author-level access is required; injected JavaScript runs for any visitor who opens a page where the gallery description is enabled.
