Photo Gallery by 10Web: Image-editor reflected XSS through thumb_url

The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'thumb_url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.46 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Exploitation requires that the authenticated victim holds the manage_options capability, as the editimage_bwg AJAX action performs a capability check but no nonce verification, meaning the payload can be delivered via a crafted GET request without a CSRF token. The official changelog confirms the fixed release as 1.8.47.

Weakness
CWE-79 — Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

This CVE was published Oct 03, 2026 and is one of 64 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Photo Gallery by 10Web to 1.8.47 or a later supported release. An application-level fix should validate thumb_url and escape it in the rendering context; require an action-specific nonce as well as manage_options for editimage_bwg. A capability check alone does not stop a forged request from reaching the victim’s authenticated session.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

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.
