NextGEN Gallery WordPress Plugin 'nggallery-manage-gallery' HTML Injection Vulnerability

The NextGEN Gallery plugin is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

NextGEN Gallery 0.96 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
