The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 30.0.7 does not perform per-object capability or nonce checks in one of its post-deletion handlers, gating it only by a coarse role-membership test, which allows any Author-level or higher user to permanently delete arbitrary posts, pages, and other content they do not own.

The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 30.0.7 does not perform any capability or nonce check in one of its handlers, allowing any authenticated user down to Subscriber to read the site's entire stored OpenAI prompt history.

Subscriber Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Contest Gallery <= 28.1.6 versions.

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 28.0.2. This is due to the plugin registering the cgcheckwpadminuploadv10 AJAX action for both authenticated and unauthenticated users without implementing capability checks or nonce verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary WordPress media attachments into galleries and manipulate gallery metadata via the cgcheckwpadminuploadv10 action. It does not enable an attacker to move or upload files.
