CVE-2026-9829 10web CVE debrief

The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via 'compact_album_order_by' Shortcode Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.41. This vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and a lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can exploit this vulnerability to append additional SQL queries into existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The malicious payload is stored via the 'shortcode_bwg' AJAX handler, accessible to Contributor-level users and exploitable without a valid nonce by omitting the 'page' parameter. The payload is subsequently triggered by the unauthenticated 'bwg_frontend_data' AJAX handler. Successful exploitation requires only that an attacker has Contributor-level access to save the shortcode.
