AI Analysis

Impact

The Google Maps for WordPress plugin contains an improper neutralization of input during web page generation, resulting in a DOM-based cross‑site scripting flaw. This weakness allows a remote attacker to deliver arbitrary client‑side script code that is executed in the victim’s browser when the plugin renders a map or injects data, potentially compromising the integrity of the displayed content.

Affected Systems

Versions of the Google Maps for WordPress plugin distributed by Aaron D. Campbell up to and including 1.0.3 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 classifies the vulnerability as moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low but nonzero likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the flaw is not referenced in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is a DOM‑based XSS where malicious input is not properly sanitized and is reflected back to the browser when the plugin generates content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the plugin author’s repository for a new version that resolves the XSS issue and upgrade as soon as a fix is released.
  • Apply a web application firewall rule or set a strict Content‑Security‑Policy that blocks inline script execution for the plugin’s domains.
  • Consider disabling or uninstalling the Google Maps for WordPress plugin until an official correction is available.
  • Ensure that any data the plugin outputs to the page is properly escaped or sanitized before rendering to mitigate injection risks.
