What is CVE-2026-18465?
The WP MAPS PRO plugin for WordPress prior to version 6.1.3 is prone to a security vulnerability due to the lack of capability checks in AJAX actions accessible to unauthenticated users. This oversight permits unauthorized attackers to exploit file inclusion vulnerabilities by supplying a user-controlled path, enabling the execution of arbitrary PHP files stored on the server. Website administrators are urged to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
Affected Version(s)
WP MAPS PRO 0 < 6.1.3
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
