Descriptions

The WordPress Gallery Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.39 is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read and Delete due to a lack of input parameter validation in the `gallery_edit` function, allowing an attacker to access arbitrary resources on the server.

El complemento WordPress Gallery Plugin para WordPress anterior a 3.39 es vulnerable a la lectura y eliminación arbitraria de archivos debido a la falta de validación de parámetros de entrada en la función `gallery_edit`, lo que permite a un atacante acceder a recursos arbitrarios en el servidor.

The NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read and Deletion in versions up to, and including, 3.37. This is due to insufficient input validation within the gallery_edit function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level privileges and above, to read and delete arbitrary files.
