What is CVE-2026-118168?

The MapPress plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.97.15 contains a vulnerability that fails to restrict data access in its front-end map embed handler. This flaw enables unauthenticated users to access sensitive information, specifically the email addresses and display names of registered users on the site, by simply guessing or enumerating user IDs. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure, putting user privacy at significant risk.

Affected Version(s)

MapPress 0 < 2.97.15

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.
