Description
The WP-Ultimate-Map plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the process_init() function hooked to admin_init, which saves plugin settings (zoom-level, focus-lat, focus-lng, sel_places, sel_routes) via update_option() based solely on the presence of a save-setting POST parameter. Additionally, the saved values — particularly zoom-level — are stored without sanitization and later echoed into an HTML attribute (and inline JavaScript) on the settings page without escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings and inject arbitrary web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

WP‑Ultimate‑Map, a WordPress plugin, has a missing nonce validation on the process_init() function hooked to admin_init (CWE‑352). This flaw allows an attacker to send a forged POST request that overwrites plugin options, such as the zoom‑level setting, without authentication. Because the value of zoom‑level is stored unsanitized and later echoed directly into an HTML attribute and inline JavaScript on the settings page, the attacker can inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of any site administrator who subsequently loads that settings page.

Affected Systems

All installations of WP‑Ultimate‑Map version 1.1 and earlier are vulnerable. The plugin is distributed by developer rahulbhangale and is commonly deployed on public WordPress sites that rely on the mapping feature, so any site running an affected version is at risk if the plugin remains installed.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.1, indicating moderate severity, and has no EPSS score available at this time. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to trick an administrator into loading a crafted link— a typical CSRF social‑engineering scenario—after which the injected script executes with the privileges of that administrator when the settings page is rendered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update WP‑Ultimate‑Map to a version newer than 1.1 or install the latest release that includes a CSRF nonce check and proper input sanitization.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, disable or uninstall the plugin to remove the attack vector.
  • Adjust the plugin’s configuration to ensure that any user‑supplied values, especially zoom‑level, are properly escaped or validated before being output to the UI.
