Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to István Márton.

The Video Gallery – YouTube Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.7.6 via the 'Total-Soft-Gallery-Video-Ajax.php' file due to a lack of capability and nonce checks on multiple functions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to retrive, edit, and delete videos.
