Analysis

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the WordPress Meow Gallery plugin that allows malicious input to be stored and executed when the gallery page is rendered.

The weakness is classified as CWE‑79, a failure to properly neutralize otherwise harmful input during web page generation.

Affected Systems

Risk and Exploitability
