Impact
The Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress fails to neutralize user-supplied data that is later rendered in web pages, enabling attackers to inject malicious script in the form of reflected XSS. Such an injection allows an attacker to execute code in a victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or page defacement. The weakness is classified as CWE‑79.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability exists in the Geo Mashup plugin developed by Dylan Kuhn. All versions up to and including 1.13.19 are affected; later releases are not known to contain the flaw.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS base score of 7.1 reflects the high impact of an untrusted input leading to reflected XSS. Exploitation is feasible remotely via the public web interface, with no authentication or additional privileges required. Although an EPSS score is not available and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the prevalence of WordPress sites using this plugin indicates a substantial risk of exploitation in the wild.
