An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-3279 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress Gallery Plugin. 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-2023-3279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-3279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3279/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-3279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q438-9265-rccj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators can exploit unvalidated block attributes to perform Local File Inclusion attacks in the NextGEN Gallery WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"nextgen_gallery","vendor":"imagely"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The WordPress Gallery Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.39 does not validate some block attributes before using them to generate paths passed to include function/s, allowing Admin users to perform LFI attacks","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"NextGEN Gallery \u003c 3.39 - Admin+ Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2023-3279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cortex XDR Agent: Local Windows User Can Disable the Agent","id":"CVE-2023-3280"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"MStore API \u003c= 4.10.7 - Unauthorized Account Access and Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-3277"},"products":["WordPress Gallery Plugin"],"published":"2023-10-16","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Administrators can exploit unvalidated block attributes to perform Local File Inclusion attacks in the NextGEN Gallery WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3279/"}
