medium 4.9 CVE-2026-76006 · published 2026-09-01

SQL injection in Photo Gallery by Ays (6.8.2 and older)

Affected: 6.8.2 and older
Fixed in: 6.8.3 *
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs an admin-level account
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The Photo Gallery by Ays – Responsive Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability exists across two execution paths — $wpdb->get_var() in record_count() and $wpdb->get_results() in prepare_items()/get_image_categories() — enabling both blind and UNION-based exfiltration techniques.

Fixed in: 6.4.9 *
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed; someone on the site has to click a link or open a page

Details from the advisory

The Photo Gallery by Ays plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.8.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform bulk operations (delete, publish, or unpublish galleries) via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
