What the vulnerability does
The My Album Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image titles in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'attachment->title' attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
My Album Gallery versions 1.0.4 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts affecting other users. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input sanitization in user-controlled fields. An attacker with low-level account access can craft malicious content that executes in other users' browsers when they view the gallery.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and steal their session data or perform actions on their behalf.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can compromise other users' accounts or sessions through stored XSS attacks within the gallery.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account on the site; no user interaction required from the victim.
