AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, consider restricting access to the plugin's endpoints or disabling the plugin if sensitive image metadata exposure is a concern.

Description

The WordPress Gallery Plugin – NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the get_item function in versions up to, and including, 3.59. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including EXIF and other metadata of any image uploaded through the plugin.
