WordPress · Wp Amaps · CVE-2026-9594
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP Maps – Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Store Locator,Listing,Directory & Filters versions prior to 4.9.5
**Description**
The plugin is subject to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), a flaw where malicious scripts are permanently stored on the target server. This occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping within the `location messages` parameter. Authenticated attackers with administrator-level access or those assigned the `wpgmp manage location` capability can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever a user visits the affected page.
**Recommendations**
Update the plugin to version 4.9.5 or later.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict the `wpgmp manage location` capability to only trusted administrative users.
