Technical details

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'q' parameter.

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) (Wordfence).

Impact

The impact is considered moderate with potential for limited confidentiality and integrity breaches (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users of the G Web Pro Store Locator plugin should upgrade to a version newer than 2.1 when available. Until then, website administrators should implement additional security controls to filter and validate input parameters, particularly the 'q' parameter (NVD).
