Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Ibnu Ubaeydillah.

The Photo Gallery by Ays – Responsive Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary HTML in pages that will render whenever a user accesses an injected page.
