## Description

The Envira Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.16.1. The envira-gallery shortcode rendered any gallery by ID or slug, and an admin AJAX gallery-list handler returned any gallery's title, slug and first image, without checking whether the user may view the gallery. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to view the contents of other users' private, draft and pending galleries.
