Photo Gallery by 10Web < 1.8.49 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via watermark_url Shortcode Attribute

Description

The plugin does not escape a shortcode attribute that sets a gallery watermark image before rendering it into an HTML image attribute, and decodes percent-encoded characters in the value, allowing users with Contributor-level access and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting that executes in the browser of any user, including an administrator, who views the published gallery.
