WordPress · Interactive World Maps · CVE-2024-3681
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Interactive World Maps plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4.14
**Description**
The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The `search` (`s`) parameter is specifically vulnerable to this issue.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 2.4.14, update to a version later than 2.4.14 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `search` (`s`) parameter in the affected plugin until a patch is available.
