CVE-2026-2497
HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk24th percentile - higher than 24% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Gallery by BestWebSoft plugin for WordPress up to version 4.7.9 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the '_gallery_order_{post_id}' parameter array keys. The gllr_save_postdata() function stores unsanitized array keys from $_POST directly into post meta, which are later used in SQL queries without prepared statements.
Risk Assessment
Authenticated attackers with editor-level access can inject additional SQL queries, potentially leading to extraction of sensitive information from the database, such as user data or passwords.
Recommendation
Update the Gallery by BestWebSoft plugin to the latest version if a patch is available. Limit the number of accounts with editor privileges and regularly audit the database for suspicious entries.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Gallery by BestWebSoft plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the '_gallery_order_{post_id}' parameter array keys in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.9. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The `gllr_save_postdata()` function stores unsanitized array keys from `$_POST` directly into post meta, which are later used in SQL queries without prepared statements. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
