CVE-2026-81650 PUBLISHED

NextGEN Gallery < 4.5.0 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload via ZIP Import

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 27.08.2026 Published: 20.09.2026 Updated: 20.09.2026

The Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 does not correctly validate the extensions of files extracted from an uploaded archive, due to a variable being reused as a loop counter so that the check always passes, allowing users granted its gallery-management capability by an administrator to write arbitrary files into a web-accessible directory and, on hosts that execute them, run arbitrary code.
