If you cannot patch yet, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable AJAX action if possible.
Description
The Document Gallery WordPress plugin before 5.1.1 does not properly sanitise and escape user input before reflecting it back in the response of an unauthenticated AJAX action, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability which can be exploited against unauthenticated users.
