CVE-2025-14796 ruhul080 CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for WordPress sites using the My Album Gallery plugin, particularly those with Author-level access and above, should assess exposure and prioritize verification and remediation.

Why it matters

The My Album Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image titles in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. Defenders responsible for WordPress sites using this plugin should assess exposure and prioritize verification and remediation to prevent authenticated attackers from injecting arbitrary web scripts.

• Authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts
• Injected scripts execute whenever a user accesses an injected page
• Defenders must verify and update the My Album Gallery plugin to a version beyond 1.0.4 if possible
• The full scope of exploitation and affected versions beyond 1.0.4 require further verification

Technical summary

The My Album Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image titles in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'attachment->title' attribute. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts, which execute when a user accesses an injected page. Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating the plugin, ensuring proper input sanitization and escaping, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating the My Album Gallery plugin to a version beyond 1.0.4 if possible, and ensure that all user input is properly sanitized and escaped.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify and update the My Album Gallery plugin to a version beyond 1.0.4 if possible
• Ensure that all user input is properly sanitized and escaped
• Monitor for suspicious activity on WordPress sites using the My Album Gallery plugin
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up

Evidence notes

The CVE record and NVD entry provide details on the vulnerability, including its description and affected versions. However, the exact versions that are affected beyond 1.0.4 and the full scope of exploitation remain unclear.
