Overview

The Map Block Leaflet plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2025-5122) in versions up to and including 3.2.1. The vulnerability was discovered in the 'url' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The issue was publicly disclosed on May 28, 2025, and was patched in version 3.2.2 (NVD, WordPress Plugin).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of the 'url' parameter in the plugin's functionality. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (NVD, Wordfence).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages.
