CVE-2026-4061 Details
Description
The Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Time-Based SQL Injection via the 'map_post_type' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.18. This is due to the `SearchResults` hook explicitly calling `stripslashes_deep($_POST)` which removes WordPress magic quotes protection, followed by the unsanitized `map_post_type` value being concatenated into an `IN(...)` clause without `esc_sql()` or `$wpdb->prepare()`. The 'any' branch of the same code correctly applies `array_map('esc_sql', ...)`, but the else branch does not. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via a time-based blind approach. Exploitation requires the Geo Search feature to be enabled in plugin settings.
A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.13.18. The vulnerability arises from the 'map_post_type' parameter, which is processed by the 'SearchResults' hook. This hook removes WordPress's magic quotes protection and then incorporates the unsanitized 'map_post_type' value into an SQL 'IN(...)' clause without proper escaping. While the 'any' branch of the code correctly sanitizes the input, the else branch does not, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the extraction of sensitive database information using a time-based blind SQL injection technique. The Geo Search feature must be enabled in the plugin settings for the vulnerability to be exploited.
Users are advised to update the Geo Mashup plugin to version 1.13.19 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
