Stored script execution via unsanitized size settings
Published Apr 18, 2025 · Updated Apr 18, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in MapPress Maps for WordPress before 2.94.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via size settings. The main settings page stores the Map sizes Width value without sanitizing or escaping it, then renders that value in map-editing interfaces as executable markup. Administrator access is required, and a victim must open Map settings or select a point of interest in the post editor for the payload to run in that victim's browser.
