CVE-2024-8991 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the OSM – OpenStreetMap plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to and including 6.1.0, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject malicious scripts into the plugin's osm_map and osm_map_v3 shortcodes.

This vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes.
