CVE-2024-6262

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Portfolio Gallery – Image Gallery Plugin plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.4

Description: The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'PFG' shortcode, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 1.6.4, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the 'PFG' shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'PFG' shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
