What the vulnerability does
The LS Google Map Router plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'map_type' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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
LS Google Map Router versions 1.1.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning injected code can affect other users and site functionality. An attacker with low-level site access can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers without requiring additional user interaction.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and affects site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users with low privileges can inject scripts affecting other users and site behavior.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have low-level authenticated access to the site; no user interaction required.
