CVE-2024-13583: Simple Gallery with Filter <= 2.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Fri Jan 24 2025(Updated: )
The Simple Gallery with Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'c2tw_sgwf' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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.
