WP Photo Album Plus before 9.2.07.002 reflects the attacker-controlled gallery or lightbox lbstart parameter into an inline script block without adequate sanitization or escaping. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a gallery-page link that executes script in the site origin when another user opens it. The exact request spelling or pretty-link form, sink function and payload constraints are not disclosed.
