What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

Official author notes reviewed on 2026-10-24 through version 5.0.13 did not establish a fixed version for this CVE. Token-renewal corrections do not identify the authorization flaw, and the 4.9.3 authorization entry concerns a different CVE. This archive could not confirm a fixed version; that does not establish whether a later release is vulnerable. Enforce server-side capabilities and resource-level authorization before every protected operation; do not treat a nonce as permission. Restrict the affected component until remediation is established. Official release notes: https://wordpress.org/plugins/insta-gallery/#developers.

No confirmed safe version is listed. Consider a vendor-supported patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality while you assess the risk.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
