Analyst readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a WordPress plugin cross-site scripting issue in GRAND FlAGallery, also listed as flash-album-gallery, before version 1.57. An attacker could inject script or HTML through a plugin parameter, potentially affecting visitors or administrators who load a crafted plugin page.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation for public WordPress sites, especially where administrators use the same site frequently. The issue is old and not KEV-listed, but legacy plugins often remain exposed unnoticed.
Technical view
CVE-2011-4624 concerns facebook.php in the GRAND FlAGallery WordPress plugin before 1.57. The reported input vector is the i parameter, which could allow arbitrary web script or HTML injection. The source bundle provides no CVSS score, CWE, or detailed exploit conditions.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites that still have the flash-album-gallery or GRAND FlAGallery plugin installed below version 1.57 and expose the affected facebook.php path.
Exploitation context
The bundle cites public mailing-list and vulnerability database references, but KEV is false and no cited source confirms active exploitation. Treat this as a plausible web application risk, not as confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.
Researcher notes
The CVE affected-product fields are sparse, but the description consistently identifies the plugin, file, version boundary, and parameter. Avoid assuming broader WordPress impact beyond this plugin and version range.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for GRAND FlAGallery or flash-album-gallery installations.
- Upgrade the plugin to version 1.57 or later where applicable.
- Disable or remove the plugin if it is no longer required.
- Review vendor or WordPress plugin guidance before applying compensating controls.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it with 1.57.
- Check whether facebook.php from the plugin is web-accessible.
- Review web logs for suspicious requests involving facebook.php and the i parameter.
