An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38468 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Imagely WordPress Gallery Plugin – NextGEN Gallery. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38468/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38468/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38468","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38468/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38468","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4rcg-xhqc-237v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can trick users into altering NextGEN Gallery thumbnails via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to the latest plugin version.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"nextgen_gallery","vendor":"imagely"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Imagely WordPress Gallery Plugin – NextGEN Gallery plugin \u003c= 3.28 leading to thumbnail alteration.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress NextGEN Gallery Plugin \u003c= 3.28 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2022-38468","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Proficy Historian","id":"CVE-2022-38469"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress CRM Perks Forms Plugin \u003c= 1.1.0 is vulnerable to Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38467"},"products":["WordPress Gallery Plugin – NextGEN Gallery"],"published":"2023-03-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-14314","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in nextgen-gallery","id":"CVE-2015-1784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35942","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9228","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"NextGEN Gallery \u003c 3.39 - Admin+ PHAR Deserialization","id":"CVE-2023-3154","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Imagely"]},"summary":"An attacker can trick users into altering NextGEN Gallery thumbnails via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to the latest plugin version.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38468/"}
