CVE-2023-6777Network attack vector

Map service interruption via exposed API key

Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in WP Go Maps 9.0.34 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain a configured Google API key. The plugin writes the configured key into several plugin files that unauthenticated requests can retrieve. A site must use the Google Maps engine with a configured key; abuse can exhaust its request quota and interrupt map functionality.
