AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 24.0.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'forminput' parameter in versions up to, and including, 28.1.6. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query inside the unauthenticated 'postcggalleryformupload' AJAX action (specifically the 'cb' branch of the included users-upload-check.php, where $finputid is concatenated unquoted into 'SELECT FieldContent FROM ... WHERE id = $finputid'). The endpoint is gated only by a public frontend nonce ('cg1laction' / 'cgnonce') that is exposed in the page source of any public gallery page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
