WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Gmedia Photo Gallery < 1.20.0 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape the Album's name before outputting it in pages/posts with a media embed, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered-html capability is disallowed
Proof of Concept
