Technical details

The Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress (versions <= 1.13.18) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An attacker with 'Contributor' level privileges or higher can inject malicious HTML or JavaScript payloads that are stored on the server. When a victim (such as an administrator) views the affected page, the script executes in their browser context. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. The issue is resolved in version 1.13.19.
