CVE-2025-14835
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘shortcode’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.05.008 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘shortcode’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.05.008 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
