CVE-2022-0873 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Gmedia Photo Gallery WordPress plugin before 1.20.0 does not sanitise and escape the Album's name before outputting it in pages/posts with a media embed, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered-html capability is disallowed. EPSS estimates a 0.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
