AI-suggested

Upgrade the Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) plugin to version 6.5.8 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix properly sanitizes and escapes input to prevent stored XSS.

Description

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) WordPress plugin versions before 6.5.8. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape collection and gallery names before storing and displaying them in the administrative dashboard. This allows authenticated users with author role or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the admin dashboard.
