Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA CSRF vulnerability in the Responsive Flickr Gallery plugin allows attackers to craft malicious requests that inject persistent XSS payloads into the gallery configuration. Since the XSS is stored, it executes whenever administrators or users view the affected gallery pages.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Responsive Flickr Gallery plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugin directory or CMS plugin list for 'Responsive Flickr Gallery' or 'responsive-flickr-gallery'Affected if Plugin is present in the installation
-
Determine the installed plugin versionView the plugin file headers (typically in main PHP file or readme.txt) and note the Version fieldAffected if Version cannot be verified or is within an unknown affected range
-
Inspect gallery configuration for unexpected valuesAccess the plugin settings panel and review all gallery configuration fields (titles, descriptions, Flickr ID, layout settings) for any suspicious JavaScript code, HTML tags, or unusual stringsAffected if Any configuration field contains script tags, event handlers, or suspicious encoded content
-
Check database for persisted XSS payloadsQuery the options or posts table (depending on plugin storage method) for stored gallery configurations and inspect stored values for <script>, javascript:, onerror, onload, or similar XSS vectorsAffected if Database contains gallery configuration data with XSS injection patterns
-
Verify anti-CSRF protection on plugin formsReview plugin PHP source code for state-changing form submissions and check if they include and validate anti-CSRF tokens (look for wp_nonce, nonce_field, or similar token validation)Affected if Forms lack anti-CSRF token generation or validation logic
A user is affected if the Responsive Flickr Gallery plugin is installed and its gallery configuration contains unexpected XSS payloads or lacks anti-CSRF protection on configuration forms.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) on all state-changing forms and validate/sanitize all user inputs before storage and output.
