Stored XSS in MapSVG WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-24

Last updated on: 2026-07-24

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
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.

Executive Summary

The MapSVG plugin for WordPress has a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in map options. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability requires checking WordPress installations for the MapSVG plugin versions up to 8.14.0. Inspect plugin files for unsanitized user input handling in map options. No direct network commands detect this; manual code review or plugin version checks are needed.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could inject scripts that execute when users access infected pages, potentially stealing user data, session cookies, or performing actions on their behalf. This requires only contributor-level access to exploit.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health data privacy) by exposing sensitive user information through script injection.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the MapSVG plugin to the latest version beyond 8.14.0 to address the Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. Ensure input sanitization and output escaping are properly implemented for user-supplied attributes in map options.
