Title:WordPress MapPress Plugin < 2.53.9 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:The WordPress plugin 'MapPress' is prone to multiple; vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
The WordPress plugin 'MapPress' is prone to multiple
vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
One vulnerability that allowed stored cross-site scripting
(XSS) is present in both the free and pro versions of the plugin, while a far more critical
vulnerability that allowed remote code execution (RCE) is present in the pro version.

Vulnerability Impact:
The XSS vulnerability could redirect a site visitor to a
malicious site, or even use an administrator's session to take over the site by adding a
malicious administrative user.

The RCE vulnerability would allow an authenticated attacker with minimal permissions to upload an
executable PHP file such as a backdoor or webshell. This could easily lead to complete site
takeover, as an attacker with backdoor access could then modify any file on the site, upload
additional files, or connect to the database and insert an administrative user.

Affected Software/OS:
WordPress MapPress plugin before version 2.53.9.

Solution:
Update to version 2.53.9 or later.

CVSS Score:
6.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
