## Technical details

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Google Maps CP plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page, leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. This can result in session hijacking, unauthorized actions on behalf of the user, or website defacement. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.2.6.
