Details from the advisory

The MapSVG plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 8.14.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes within the map options. This makes it possible for 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.

Access needed (per CVSS): Needs an admin-level account
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The MapSVG plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the SVGFile constructor in all versions up to, and including, 8.14.0 This is due to an incorrect conditional check that prevents file validation from taking place. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
