Description

Photo Gallery Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. This flaw exists
because the photo-gallery\photo-gallery.php script allows access
to filemanager\UploadHandler.php. The post() method in UploadHandler.php
does not properly verify or sanitize user-uploaded files.

This module was tested on version 1.2.5.
