This is due to the plugin allowing unauthenticated users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.","published":"2024-05-24T09:15:09.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T08:01:00.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-94"],"affected":["wppa/wp photo album plus"],"epss":{"score":0.00478,"percentile":0.40985,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%).
