WP Photo Album Plus is a WordPress plugin for managing and displaying photo albums. Authenticated users with upload capability can execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting shell metacharacters into image processing parameters, leading to complete server compromise. The vulnerability requires that ImageMagick be enabled and the attacker holds the plugin-defined wppa_upload role capability.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 9.3.02.003

## Technical details

The plugin's wppa_image_magick_a() function concatenates the attacker-controlled `value` parameter directly into an ImageMagick command passed to exec() without proper shell escaping via escapeshellarg(). The wppa_decode() function actively restores percent-encoded shell metacharacters, bypassing incomplete sanitization. Exploitation requires authentication with the wppa_upload capability and ImageMagick enabled.
