Is WP Go Maps safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Unauthenticated Denial of Service Attack in WP Go Maps <= 10.1.08 versions.

The WP Go Maps WordPress plugin before 10.1.04 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL query, allowing unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in WP Go Maps <= 10.1.04 versions.

The WP Go Maps – Most Popular Map Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 10.1.01. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary records in plugin database tables (maps, markers, circles, polygons, polylines, rectangles, and point labels) by supplying a WPGMZA-namespaced CRUD-backed class name via the phpClass parameter. The namespace validation check (requiring the 'WPGMZA' prefix) does not prevent exploitation because classes such as WPGMZA\Map and WPGMZA\Marker satisfy it while still triggering an INSERT into the corresponding plugin table before the route rejects the request.

The WP Go Maps WordPress plugin before 10.0.10 does not perform any approval-state filtering on its public single-marker REST endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve marker records that an administrator has not yet approved for public display, including any PII placed in the address and description fields and the marker's geographic coordinates.

The WP Go Maps WordPress plugin before 10.0.10 does not properly enforce the marker approval filter on the admin-ajax fallback for its datatables route, allowing unauthenticated visitors to retrieve marker records that the site owner has not approved for public display, including their title, category, address and description fields.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘wpgmza_custom_js’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.0.05 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping and missing capability check in the 'admin_post_wpgmza_save_settings' hook anonymous function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the processBackgroundAction() function in all versions up to, and including, 10.0.04. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify global map engine settings.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cache Poisoning in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.48. This is due to the plugin not serving cached data from server-side responses and instead relying on user-input. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to poison the cache location for location search results.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.46. This is due to the plugin exposing state-changing REST actions through an AJAX bridge without proper CSRF token validation, and having destructive logic reachable via GET requests with no permission_callback. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force logged-in administrators to create, update, or delete markers and geometry features via CSRF attacks, and allows anonymous users to trigger mass deletion of markers via unsafe GET requests.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in WPGMaps WP Go Maps wp-google-maps.This issue affects WP Go Maps: from n/a through <= 9.0.40.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Custom JS option in versions up to, and including, 9.0.38. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers that have been explicitly granted permissions by an administrator, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Version 9.0.39 adds a caution to make administrators aware of the possibility for abuse if permissions are granted to lower-level users.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wpgmza shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.36 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated API key disclosure in versions up to, and including, 9.0.34 due to the plugin adding the API key to several plugin files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain the developer's Google API key. While this does not affect the security of sites using this plugin, it allows unauthenticated attackers to make requests using this API key with the potential of exhausting requests resulting in an inability to use the map functionality offered by the plugin.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WPGMaps WP Go Maps wp-google-maps.This issue affects WP Go Maps: from n/a through <= 9.0.29.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpgmza' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.32 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Go Maps for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in versions up to, and including, 9.0.32 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the map id parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.28 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin <= 9.0.15 versions.

Multiple Authenticated Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WordPress WP Google Maps plugin (versions <= 8.1.12). Vulnerable parameters: &dataset_name, &wpgmza_gdpr_retention_purpose, &wpgmza_gdpr_company_name, &name #2, &name, &polyname #2, &polyname, &address.

The WP Google Maps plugin before 7.11.35 for WordPress allows XSS via the wp-admin/ rectangle_name or rectangle_opacity parameter.

In the wp-google-maps plugin before 7.11.18 for WordPress, includes/class.rest-api.php in the REST API does not sanitize field names before a SELECT statement.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the WP Google Maps plugin before 6.0.27 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the poly_id parameter in an (1) edit_poly, (2) edit_polyline, or (3) edit_marker action in the wp-google-maps-menu page to wp-admin/admin.php.
