Modula Image Gallery <= 2.10.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via FancyBox 5 JavaScript Library

Description

The Modula Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's bundled FancyBox JavaScript library (versions <= 5.0.36) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
