Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-13 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-13 18:30

Details

The Gallery Blocks with Lightbox. Image Gallery, (HTML5 video , YouTube, Vimeo) Video Gallery and Lightbox for native gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.0. This is due to the plugin using the edit_posts capability check instead of manage_options for the update_option action type in the pgc_sgb_action_wizard AJAX handler. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify arbitrary plugin settings prefixed with pgc_sgb_*.

Severity ?

4.3 (Medium)
