Home page URL: Security reports for Mapster WP Maps
Application: Mapster WP Maps
Date: Oct 25, 2024
Research Description: The Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to an insufficient capability check on the mapster_wp_maps_set_option_from_js() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0.

Aug 04, 2026

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-14839
Home page URL: Security reports for Mapster WP Maps
Application: Mapster WP Maps
Date: Aug 01, 2026
Research Description: The Mapster WP Maps WordPress plugin before 1.24.0 does not perform any authorization or post-status check on a public REST endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the title and full content of any post regardless of its status, including unpublished (draft, pending, private, and trashed) posts.
Affected versions: max 1.24.0.
Status: vulnerable

Sep 19, 2026

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-12954
Home page URL: Security reports for Mapster WP Maps
Application: Mapster WP Maps
Date: Sep 18, 2026
Research Description: The Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Meta Write in all versions up to, and including, 1.23.0 via the `my_profile_update()` function. This is due to the function performing no nonce verification, no capability check, and no allowlist validation on the meta key supplied via the `acf-photo-gallery-groups` POST parameter before passing both the meta key and its corresponding value directly to `update_user_meta()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary user meta values, though privilege escalation is not possible.
Affected versions: max 1.24.0.
Status: vulnerable

Oct 08, 2026

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-39720
Home page URL: Security reports for Mapster WP Maps
Application: Mapster WP Maps

Oct 30, 2026

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-107743
Home page URL: Security reports for Mapster WP Maps
Application: Mapster WP Maps
Date: Oct 29, 2026
Research Description: The Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.0.5. This is due to the /wp-json/mapster-wp-maps/save-mapmaker REST route being registered with a permission_callback that unconditionally returns true (no capability check, no nonce), together with the mapster_write_config_to_acf() helper only sanitizing string config values with sanitize_text_field() — which strips HTML tags but leaves quote characters intact — and the mapster_wp_map shortcode renderer in mapster_wordpress_maps_shortcode_display() concatenating the stored loading_background_color value into a single-quoted inline style attribute without esc_attr(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Affected versions: max 2.0.6.
Status: vulnerable

Nov 03, 2026

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-118638

Affected versions: max 2.0.6.
Status: vulnerable
