Descriptions

The NextGEN Gallery WordPress plugin before 3.59.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed

El complemento de WordPress NextGEN Gallery anterior a 3.59.1 no sanitiza ni escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, realizar ataques de Cross Site Scripting incluso cuando unfiltered_html no está permitido.

The NextGEN Gallery – Create an Amazing Photo Gallery in Seconds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.59 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.
