Technical details

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the MapSVG plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 8.14.0). The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An attacker with Contributor-level privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript into map-related data. The vulnerability requires a victim (such as a site administrator) to interact with the affected page or perform a specific action for the script to execute in their browser context. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized site modifications. The issue is resolved in version 8.14.1.

Affected products
