CVE-2024-5970

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: MaxGalleria plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.4.4

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's maxgallery thumb shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, such as attributes provided by users. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For MaxGalleria plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.4.4, update to a version later than 6.4.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the maxgallery thumb shortcode until a patch is available.
