AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an SQL injection flaw caused by improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89). An attacker can construct malicious input that modifies the database query, allowing unauthorized read, modify, or delete operations on data within the WordPress site’s database. The flaw exists in the MapSVG plugin v8.16.1 and earlier, meaning any site using a version older than 8.16.2 is exposed to the risk of data exfiltration or corruption.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the WordPress MapSVG plugin (mapsvg-lite-interactive-vector-maps) developed by PT Norther Lights Production. All releases from inception through version 8.16.1 are vulnerable; the issue is fixed in 8.16.2 and later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 indicates high severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely via the plugin’s web interface, requiring only access to the site. An attacker could log in or use a publicly accessible form to submit malicious payloads, with no special privileges needed beyond normal site usage.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress MapSVG plugin to the latest available version (at least 8.16.2).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WordPress MapSVG plugin to version 8.16.2 or newer to eliminate the injection flaw.
  • Disable or uninstall the MapSVG plugin if an immediate update cannot be performed to remove exposure.
  • Review custom database interactions in the site for unsanitized queries and replace them with parameterized statements or proper escaping.
