Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in robosoft Robo Gallery robo-gallery allows DOM-Based XSS.This issue affects Robo Gallery: from n/a through <= 5.1.2.

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 · high confidence

A DOM-Based XSS vulnerability exists in Robo Gallery plugin versions up to 5.1.2 where user-supplied input is improperly neutralized during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in victim's browsers via DOM manipulation.

MitigationUpdate Robo Gallery to the latest version and audit the plugin for unsanitized input sinks that feed into innerHTML, document.write, or similar DOM-manipulation methods.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Robo Gallery plugin installation
    Check your WordPress installation for the Robo Gallery plugin in wp-content/plugins/ directory, or look for it in the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The plugin is not installed - not affected. If installed, proceed to version check.
  2. Identify installed version
    Read the main plugin file (robo-gallery.php or similar) and locate the 'Version' header comment, or check the plugin version displayed in WordPress admin plugins list
    Affected if Version is 5.1.2 or earlier - potentially affected. If version is unknown or cannot be determined, assume affected.
  3. Locate DOM manipulation code
    Inspect plugin PHP files for calls to innerHTML, document.write, or similar JavaScript DOM manipulation methods that accept user-supplied input without sanitization
    Affected if Code uses innerHTML, document.write, or similar with unsanitized $_GET, $_POST, or database values - vulnerable to DOM-based XSS.
  4. Identify input sinks
    Search plugin JavaScript files for eval(), innerHTML assignments, or document.write() calls that process URL parameters or user-generated content without proper encoding
    Affected if Input sinks accept reflected or stored data without escaping - vulnerable condition exists.
  5. Verify public exposure
    Check if gallery shortcodes or AJAX endpoints are publicly accessible without authentication, allowing attacker-supplied input to reach the vulnerable DOM sinks
    Affected if Gallery endpoints are unauthenticated and feed user input into DOM manipulation - exploit is possible.

You are affected if Robo Gallery version 5.1.2 or earlier is installed AND the plugin exposes gallery functionality that feeds user input into innerHTML, document.write, or similar DOM manipulation methods without sanitization.
