This signature detects attempts to exploit a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WordPress Inline Gallery plugin. It fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the do parameter of the browser.php script. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
The Inline Gallery WordPress Plugin is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Inline Gallery WordPress Plugin 0.3.9 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
