CVE-2024-1582

Summary

CVE-2024-1582 is a vulnerability found in the WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress up to version 9.0.32. It is categorized as a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level or higher permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page. The risk score for this vulnerability is 26, with a base severity of MEDIUM. The exploitability score is 3.1, and the privileges required are LOW, with no user interaction needed. The attack vector is through the network, and the impact on integrity and confidentiality is LOW. The availability impact is NONE. To remediate this vulnerability, users should update to a version beyond 9.0.32 of the plugin to ensure adequate input sanitization and output escaping, thus preventing the injection of malicious scripts that could potentially harm an organization's website or compromise user data.
