Descriptions

NVD
Wordfence

The OSM WordPress plugin through 6.01 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attack.

The OSM - OpenStreetMap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'osm_map' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 6.0.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes like 'map_border'. 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.
