Description
The Portfolio Gallery – Image Gallery Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized file upload in versions 2.0.2 up to, and including, 2.2.0 due to the pfg_upload_dropped_files AJAX action only checking the 'edit_posts' capability instead of 'upload_files'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to upload image files to the Media Library, which their role does not normally permit.
