CVE-2026-1463

Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery <= 4.0.4 - Authenticated (Author+) Local File Inclusion

Published Mar 18, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.3 via the 'template' parameter in gallery shortcodes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.
