CVE-2026-5361 — Envira Gallery Lite security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.4

The Envira Gallery Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the REST API in versions up to and including 1.12.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the update_gallery_data() function and improper output escaping in the gallery_init() function. The sanitize_config_values() function only sanitizes the justified_gallery_theme and justified_row_height parameters, but does not sanitize the arrows parameter. When the arrows value is output in the inline JavaScript configuration, it uses esc_attr() which is designed for HTML attribute contexts, not JavaScript contexts, allowing JavaScript expression injection. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Matched remediation archetype

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
