Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by a PHP object injection vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Flickr Gallery Plugin for WordPress running on the remote web server is prior to 1.5.3.
It is, therefore, affected by a PHP object injection vulnerability.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject PHP objects and execute arbitrary code.
