Descriptions

The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin before 2.88.15 does not sanitize and escape the map title when outputting it back in the admin dashboard, allowing Contributors and above roles to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El complemento MapPress Maps para WordPress anterior a 2.88.15 no sanitiza ni escapa el título del mapa cuando lo muestra nuevamente en el panel de administración, lo que permite a los colaboradores y roles superiores realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado.

The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via map titles in all versions up to, and including, 2.88.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
