AI-suggested
Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict subscriber-level access where possible and consider disabling the Filter Gallery plugin if unauthorized deletion risk is unacceptable. Since the nonce bypass requires omitting the nonce field, ensuring strict validation of request parameters and implementing additional authorization checks may help mitigate risk temporarily.
Description
The Filter Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete any arbitrary Filter Gallery records — including all associated filters, image mappings, settings, and details options — by supplying attacker-controlled gallery IDs. The nonce bypass requires omitting the nonce POST field entirely rather than submitting an invalid value, as a present-but-invalid nonce is correctly rejected.
