Stored Cross-Site Scripting Risk in BMLT Meeting Map Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2024-12494

What is CVE-2024-12494?

The BMLT Meeting Map plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This is due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin's 'bmlt_meeting_map' shortcode. As a result, attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts, which will execute whenever a user accesses a page that has been compromised.
