Descriptions

The WordPress Filter Gallery Plugin WordPress plugin before 0.1.6 does not properly escape the filters passed in the ufg_gallery_filters ajax action before outputting them on the page, allowing a high privileged user such as an administrator to inject HTML or javascript to the plugin settings page, even when the unfiltered_html capability is disabled.

El complemento Filter Gallery de WordPress anterior a 0.1.6 no escapa correctamente a los filtros pasados en la acción ajax ufg_gallery_filters antes de mostrarlos en la página, lo que permite a un usuario con privilegios elevados, como un administrador, inyectar HTML o javascript en la página de configuración del complemento. incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html está deshabilitada.

The WordPress Filter Gallery Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ufg_gallery_filters
AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 0.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
