Summary

The WP Maps plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.7.2 lacks proper sanitization and escaping of certain map settings. This oversight allows users with high privileges, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This vulnerability can be exploited even in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite installations, posing a significant security risk to the affected websites.

Affected Version(s)

WP Maps 0 < 4.7.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
