Robo Gallery <= 5.1.3 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Loading Label' Setting
Description

The Robo Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Loading Label' setting in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3. The plugin uses a custom `|***...***|` marker pattern in its `fixJsFunction()` method to embed raw JavaScript function references within JSON-encoded configuration objects. When a gallery's options are rendered on the frontend, `json_encode()` wraps all string values in double quotes. The `fixJsFunction()` method then strips the `"|***` and `***|"` sequences, effectively converting a JSON string value into raw JavaScript code. The Loading Label field (stored as `rbs_gallery_LoadingWord` post_meta) is an `rbstext` type field that is sanitized with `sanitize_text_field()` on save. While this strips HTML tags, it does not strip the `|***...***|` markers since they contain no HTML. When a user inputs `|***alert(document.domain)***|`, the value passes through sanitization intact, is stored in post_meta, and is later retrieved and output within an inline `<script>` tag via `renderMainBlock()` with the quote markers stripped — resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution. The gallery post type uses `capability_type => 'post'`, allowing Author-level users to create galleries. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the gallery shortcode.
