AI Analysis

Impact

The WordPress Video Gallery Block plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript into gallery content that is rendered on visitor pages. The vulnerability, classified as CWE‑79, permits malicious code to execute in the browsers of anyone who views the gallery, potentially enabling credential theft, session hijacking, or defacement. The flaw results from the plugin’s failure to neutralize user‑supplied input before saving or rendering it.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the bPlugins Video Gallery Block plugin for WordPress. All versions up through and including 1.6.0 contain the flaw; the fix is included in version 1.7.0 and later. Site administrators should confirm their installed plugin version and update if it is 1.6.0 or earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity; the EPSS score is unavailable, so the precise exploitation probability cannot be determined, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector involves an authenticated editor submitting gallery data through the WordPress admin interface; because the flaw is stored, no runtime prerequisites exist beyond write access to gallery content, making the exploitation effort relatively low. Once the injected code is stored, it runs in the browsers of users who view the gallery, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary client‑side actions.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Video Gallery Block plugin to the latest available version (at least 1.7.0).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WordPress Video Gallery Block plugin to version 1.7.0 or later.
  • If the update cannot be applied promptly, deactivate the plugin until the patch is installed or remove it entirely if it is not essential.
  • Restrict gallery editing privileges to trusted administrators and apply a content security policy that blocks inline scripts to reduce the impact of any future input validation gaps.
