DESCRIPTION:
Charlie Eriksen has discovered two security issues in the Mac Photo
Gallery plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issues are caused due to missing authentication and
authorisation checks in the
wp-content/plugins/mac-dock-gallery/macalbajax.php and
wp-content/plugins/mac-dock-gallery/macphtajax.php scripts and can be
exploited to access otherwise restricted functionality (e.g. edit
image and album descriptions).
The security issues are confirmed in version 2.10. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Upgrade to a fixed version (please contact the vendor for details).
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
