CVE-2026-107743 Details
Description
The Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.0.5. This is due to the /wp-json/mapster-wp-maps/save-mapmaker REST route being registered with a permission_callback that unconditionally returns true (no capability check, no nonce), together with the mapster_write_config_to_acf() helper only sanitizing string config values with sanitize_text_field() — which strips HTML tags but leaves quote characters intact — and the mapster_wp_map shortcode renderer in mapster_wordpress_maps_shortcode_display() concatenating the stored loading_background_color value into a single-quoted inline style attribute without esc_attr(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 2.0.5. The issue arises from the '/wp-json/mapster-wp-maps/save-mapmaker' REST route, which is improperly configured to allow unauthenticated access without any capability checks or nonce verification. Additionally, the 'mapster_write_config_to_acf()' helper only partially sanitizes string values, leaving quote characters that could be exploited. The vulnerability is exacerbated by the 'mapster_wp_map' shortcode renderer, which injects unsanitized data into inline style attributes. This combination allows attackers to insert and execute malicious scripts on pages viewed by users.
Users are advised to update the Mapster WP Maps plugin to version 2.0.6 or later.
