Summary
The Gallery by FooGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax_get_gallery_info() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve metadata (name, image count, thumbnail URL) of private, draft, and password-protected galleries by enumerating gallery IDs.
