This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the site to have Shutter or Shutter Reloaded selected as the active lightbox, and the injected comment must be approved through WordPress's standard moderation workflow before the payload is rendered to other visitors.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":5.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/nextgen-gallery/tags/4.5.4/static/Lightbox/shutter/nextgen_shutter.js#L120","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/nextgen-gallery/tags/4.5.4/static/Lightbox/shutter/shutter.js#L197","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/nextgen-gallery/tags/4.5.4/static/Lightbox/shutter/shutter.js#L67","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/nextgen-gallery/tags/4.5.4/static/Lightbox/shutter_reloaded/nextgen_shutter_reloaded.js#L118","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/nextgen-gallery/tags/4.5.4/static/Lightbox/shutter_reloaded/shutter.js#L247"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-31T06:43:41.782515125+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
