Technical details

The WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an unauthenticated SQL injection (CWE-89) in versions up to 4.9.1. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input before it is used in an SQL query. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted web requests to the server, allowing them to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to the extraction of sensitive information from the database, such as user metadata and site configurations. The vulnerability is patched in version 4.9.2.
