CVE-2026-2479 PUBLISHED

Responsive Lightbox & Gallery <= 2.7.1 - Authenticated (Author+) Server-Side Request Forgery via Remote Library Image Upload

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 13.02.2026 Published: 25.02.2026 Updated: 25.02.2026

The Responsive Lightbox & Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.1. This is due to the use of strpos() for substring-based hostname validation instead of strict host comparison in the ajax_upload_image() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application, which can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
