Access violation vulnerability in Image Gallery – Photo Grid & Video Gallery 2.13.3

A popular plugin for WordPress called “The Image Gallery – Photo Grid & Video Gallery” has a security vulnerability. This vulnerability, known as Path Traversal, affects all versions of the plugin up to 2.13.3. The issue lies in an AJAX feature called “modula_list_folders” which does not properly check the location of files and folders. This means that even though the plugin checks a user’s permissions, it does not ensure that the folders they are accessing are safe. This makes it possible for someone with Author-level access or higher to access any folder on the server using the “modula_list_folders” feature.
