Security Patch Released for NextGen Gallery Plugin Addressing Critical Vulnerabilities

February 11, 2021 By John Leave a Comment

Two Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities were discovered in NextGen Gallery, a WordPress plugin installed in over 800,000 WordPress websites. Malicious attackers could potentially exploit these vulnerabilities leading to a site takeover, malicious redirects, spam injection, phishing, and much more.

A security patch has since been released to address these vulnerabilities.

For more information, please check the official public release.
