Description
The Responsive iframe GoogleMap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'responsive_map' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'width' and 'height' attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Responsive iframe GoogleMap WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting triggered by the ‘responsive_map’ shortcode. Width and height attributes are not sanitized or escaped, so an attacker who can add or edit content with a Contributor or higher role can inject arbitrary JavaScript. Once the malicious page is viewed by other users, the injected script executes with the site’s privileges, enabling attacks such as cookie theft, session hijacking, or content modification.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Responsive iframe GoogleMap plugin from Pressman Inc. All versions up to and including 1.0.2 are impacted. WordPress sites that have installed one of these releases and allow contributors or higher roles to edit content are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity and a low likelihood of exploitation is reflected by an EPSS score of less than 1%. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely exploited. Attackers must be authenticated with a Contributor or higher role, which limits the potential reach to sites whose contributors have write access. Given the moderate score and low exploitation probability, the overall risk is moderate but still actionable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Responsive iframe GoogleMap plugin to a version that includes input sanitization and output escaping, such as 1.0.3 or later.
  • Restrict the number of users who have Contributor or higher privileges, or remove Contributor access from users who do not need it.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, sanitize or remove the width and height attributes from any existing ‘responsive_map’ shortcodes and ensure the output is properly escaped before rendering.
