Descriptions

The Photo Gallery by Ays WordPress plugin before 5.1.7 does not escape some parameters before outputting it back in attributes, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin

The Photo Gallery by Ays plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 5.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
