CVE-2024-2471: FooGallery <= 2.4.14 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Image Attachment Fields
The FooGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image attachment fields (such as 'Title', 'Alt Text', 'Custom URL', 'Custom Class', and 'Override Type') in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
