Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Prakrit.
The MapSVG – Vector maps, Image maps, Google Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 8.16.1. This is 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.
