Last modified
CVE-2022-1971 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The NextCellent Gallery WordPress plugin through 1.9.35 does not sanitise and escape some of its image settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
