DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Maps WordPress plugin before 4.9.8 does not perform a capability check, nor validate a nonce, in one of its AJAX actions, allowing users with a Subscriber account to create an unlimited number of options in the database, each of which is loaded on every page request.

AnalysisAI

WP Maps WordPress plugin before version 4.9.8 allows any subscriber-level authenticated user to create an unlimited number of persistent database options via an unprotected AJAX endpoint lacking both capability checks and nonce validation. Because WordPress loads all options on every page request, mass option creation degrades site performance site-wide, yielding both integrity and availability impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid WordPress subscriber account on the target site - the lowest authenticated role, obtainable via open user registration if enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.4 Medium score is well-calibrated: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N confirms network accessibility with minimal friction once an authenticated subscriber account is obtained, but PR:L meaningfully constrains the attacker pool to registered users rather than anonymous internet actors. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update WP Maps to version 4.9.8 or later, which is confirmed available per vendor advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
