Description
The CBX Map for Google Map & OpenStreetMap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the popup heading and location address parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 CBX Map for Google Map & OpenStreetMap WordPress plugin allows an authenticated attacker with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the plugin’s popup heading and location address fields. These inputs are stored without proper sanitization or escaping, so the malicious script runs whenever any user opens a page that displays the inserted map content. Because the code executes in the victim’s browser, the attacker can hijack sessions, steal credentials, deface sites, or perform further attacks on the user’s behalf.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all releases of the CBX Map for Google Map & OpenStreetMap plugin shipped with WordPress up to and including version 2.0.1. The plugin is distributed by vendor manchumahara and is installed on WordPress sites that have not yet applied the latest update.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests low likelihood of widespread exploitation at present. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must be authenticated with at least Contributor role to use the vulnerable add‑map interface, after which the malicious script is stored and served to any site visitor. The attack vector is therefore limited to sites where such roles exist and the plugin is enabled.
