CVE-2021-24465 is an authenticated SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the Meow Gallery WordPress plugin prior to version 4.1.9. The flaw allows authenticated users, even those with Contributor privileges, to inject malicious SQL queries via the gallery shortcode's 'ids' attribute, leading to potential data disclosure and arbitrary object deserialization. With a CVSS score of 8.1 (High), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required, posing a significant risk to confidentiality and integrity. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential for data compromise remains.
