Overview

The Map My Locations plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-7660) in versions up to and including 1.1. The vulnerability exists in the plugin's 'mapmylocations' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This vulnerability was disclosed on July 18, 2025 (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) and vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The issue stems from improper handling of user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcode implementation, specifically in the public-facing components of the plugin (Wordfence).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks (NVD).
