Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Maps Plugin using Google Maps for WordPress versions prior to 1.8.4

Description The issue concerns the lack of CSRF checks in most AJAX actions of the plugin, which could allow attackers to make logged-in admins delete arbitrary posts and update the plugin's settings via a CSRF attack.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.4, update to version 1.8.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's AJAX actions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
