Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the Open User Map WordPress plugin versions 1.4.50 and earlier. The plugin fails to properly sanitize or validate user input before displaying it to visitors. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious URL or entry that, when accessed or processed by the plugin, injects arbitrary JavaScript code. While the attack is network-accessible without authentication, the Patchstack advisory notes that user interaction (such as clicking a malicious link) is required for successful exploitation. The vulnerability was patched in version 1.4.51.
