Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Ultimate Maps by Supsystic < 1.5.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated Cross-Site Scripting in the Ultimate Maps by Supsystic WordPress plugin (all versions prior to 1.5.0) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages rendered in a victim's browser. The CVSS vector confirms a Changed scope (S:C), meaning injected scripts execute within the victim's browser security context rather than the plugin's own origin, enabling session hijacking or malicious redirection against authenticated WordPress users. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the unauthenticated, low-complexity attack vector significantly lowers the exploitation barrier.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) identifies the root cause as insufficient sanitization or output encoding of user-controlled data before it is rendered as HTML. The affected product is the Ultimate Maps by Supsystic WordPress plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:supsystic:ultimate_maps_by_supsystic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (all versions before 1.5.0). This plugin provides Google Maps and similar mapping embeds for WordPress sites, and the unsanitized input is exposed without requiring any authentication, meaning any visitor to the WordPress site - or any external party who can deliver a crafted URL - can submit the malicious payload. The Changed scope metric (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects the canonical XSS mechanism: the injected script executes within the victim's browser session, crossing the boundary from the plugin's WordPress context into the user's authenticated browser environment.
RemediationAI
Update the Ultimate Maps by Supsystic plugin to version 1.5.0 or later immediately, as this release is confirmed by Patchstack to resolve the XSS vulnerability (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ultimate-maps-by-supsystic/vulnerability/wordpress-ultimate-maps-by-supsystic-plugin-1-5-0-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability). If the update cannot be applied immediately, disable the plugin entirely to eliminate the attack surface - this removes all map embed functionality but eliminates exposure. As a temporary compensating control, deploying a Web Application Firewall rule targeting common XSS payloads in requests to plugin endpoints may reduce opportunistic exploitation risk, though WAF bypass is feasible and this measure should not be treated as a long-term substitute for patching. Enabling a restrictive Content Security Policy (CSP) header on the WordPress site can limit the impact of any successfully injected scripts by blocking inline script execution or restricting script origins, though misconfigurations can break legitimate plugin functionality.
