CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing, and WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.5.0 are vulnerable due to inadequate user verification, allowing users with Contributor roles and above to access metadata of any image on the site. This exposure includes sensitive information such as EXIF data, which can reveal camera details and capture timestamps, as well as internal identifiers meant for administrative access. WordPress site administrators and users of the affected plugin should prioritize updating to version 4.5.0 or later to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
The Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 does not verify that the requesting user is entitled to a given image record before returning it, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to read the stored metadata of any image on the site, including images in galleries belonging to other users. The disclosed data includes the image's stored EXIF subset, covering camera make and model and capture timestamp, along with internal checksums and identifiers that the Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and WordPress plugin before 4.5.0's own capability-gated read path reserves to administrators.
