CVE-2026-120575 Details
Description
The Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'hierarchy[].name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is exploitable by Subscribers because the /?wplr-sync-api endpoint authenticates solely via wplr_auth_token usermeta with no capability check, and the current user's token is exposed on every admin page via localized script data due to a commented-out screen-condition guard.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 6.5.7. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when a user accesses the compromised page. This issue exploits the /?wplr-sync-api endpoint, which authenticates using wplr_auth_token usermeta without a capability check. Additionally, the current user's token is exposed on every admin page through localized script data, creating a further risk.
Users are advised to update the Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) plugin to version 6.5.8 or a newer patched version.
