Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MapPress Maps for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.94.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Map block due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.94.1, update the plugin to the latest version to secure the site and mitigate risks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Map block until the update is applied. Additionally, ensure that only trusted users have contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
