Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input (CWE-79). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into web pages generated by the plugin. Exploitation requires a victim (typically a site administrator) to perform an action, such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a specific page (User Interaction required). Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions in the context of the victim's browser, or the delivery of further browser-based exploits. The issue is resolved in version 9.2.03.001.
