Synopsis

NextGEN Gallery Plugin for WordPress < 3.2.11 SQL Injection

Description

The WordPress NextGEN Gallery Plugin installed on the remote host is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate SQL queries, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information and modification of data.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
