WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Maps – Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Store Locator,Listing,Directory & Filters < 5.0.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) SQL Injection

Description

The WP Maps – Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Store Locator,Listing,Directory & Filters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.9. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
