WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
NextGen Gallery < 3.5.0 - CSRF allows File Upload, Stored XSS, and RCE
Description
It was possible to bypass the "is_authorized_request" function used to control access to plugin settings by sending a request without a nonce parameter. This could be used to upload arbitrary code to a CSS file with a double extension (e.g. file.php.css), and could also be used to include the uploaded file as a gallery template, resulting in RCE and XSS when visiting a gallery using the selected template.
