Description The WordPress Gallery Plugin – NextGEN Gallery plugin is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the get_item function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including EXIF and other metadata of any image uploaded through the plugin.
