What the vulnerability does
The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Map block in all versions up to, and including, 2.94.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
MapPress Maps for WordPress versions up to 2.94.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the map display functionality and impacts all users viewing affected content.
What an attacker can do
Inject JavaScript code that runs in other users' browsers when they view maps.
Potential impact on your site
