Description
The Fullscreen Galleria plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'href' Attribute in Post Content in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.12 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Fullscreen Galleria plugin for WordPress contains an unsanitized 'href' attribute in post content that is directly interpolated into an SQL query. This weakness allows an attacker with contributor or higher permissions to inject additional SQL statements. The consequence is the unauthorized extraction of sensitive database content, compromising confidentiality. The flaw is based on CWE-89 and is rated moderate severity with a CVSS score of 6.5.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Fullscreen Galleria plugin by pdamsten, versions up to and including 1.6.12. Any deployment of these versions is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The risk is moderate, as the attacker requires authenticated contributor-level access. No exploitation requires network-level interaction beyond normal user permissions. The CVSS score of 6.5 reflects potential confidentiality impact. Because EPSS is unavailable, the likelihood of current exploitation is unknown, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Deployment of older versions with contributor roles therefore presents a real threat for potential data theft.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Fullscreen Galleria to the latest version that removes the unsanitized href handling.
  • Limit contributor-level access to trusted users or remove contributor roles from public-facing parts of the site.
  • Implement input validation so that href values are strictly sanitized or use parameterized SQL queries to prevent injection.
