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.
