Summary

The Envira Gallery WordPress plugin before 1.16.2 does not check that a user holds the WordPress capability required to install plugins before it processes its setup-wizard installation request (CWE-269). This lets a Multisite subsite Administrator install any plugin published on WordPress.org into the network-shared plugins directory, a privilege reserved for the network Super Admin. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
