Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required for exploitation beyond reaching the WordPress site over the network. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U confirms remote unauthenticated exploitation against any default installation of WP Go Maps 10.1.04 or earlier with a standard WordPress deployment. There is no requirement for the attacker to hold any account, trigger any user interaction, or enable a non-default configuration. The only limiting factors are: (1) impact is read-only and partial - no write or destructive capability is implied by the available data; (2) the specific data exposed depends on what map data the site owner has stored in the plugin.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible, zero-authentication attack path (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) with limited impact confined to partial confidentiality loss (C:L/I:N/A:N/S:U). This profile means the flaw is trivially reachable and requires no attacker setup, but its real-world damage is bounded - no write capability and no availability disruption are confirmed. EPSS data was not supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified precisely. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and no public exploit code has been identified. The net risk posture is moderate: high accessibility offset by constrained impact. Sites handling sensitive map data (private location pins, internal addresses) should treat urgency as higher than the base score implies, while purely decorative map deployments face lower realistic risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker - or an automated vulnerability scanner - sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request directly to the affected WP Go Maps plugin endpoint on any publicly reachable WordPress site running version 10.1.04 or earlier. Because no authorization check gates the response, the server returns restricted data (such as saved map configurations, marker details, or internal identifiers) without requiring a session cookie or API key. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, but the low attack complexity means exploitation could be reproduced by any attacker who reviews the plugin's source code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Broken access control in WP Go Maps WordPress plugin versions 10.1.04 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access restricted resources without authorization. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862) on one or more plugin endpoints, enabling network-accessible exploitation with no credentials required. Impact is limited to a partial confidentiality breach - no data modification or availability impact - but the zero-barrier entry point makes it trivially reachable by automated scanners. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update WP Go Maps to the version immediately above 10.1.04 - the exact patched version number is not confirmed in the available input data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-google-maps/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-go-maps-plugin-10-1-04-broken-access-control-vulnerability and the WordPress plugin repository changelog for the confirmed fix release. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider using a Web Application Firewall rule to block unauthenticated requests to the plugin's REST API namespace (typically /wp-json/wpgmaps/ or its registered AJAX actions) as a temporary compensating control; note this may break legitimate map-loading functionality for anonymous site visitors. Restricting REST API access to authenticated users globally (via WordPress settings or a security plugin) is a broader workaround but carries the trade-off of breaking other plugins that depend on public REST endpoints.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) is a WordPress plugin published by wpgmaps, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpgmaps:wp_go_maps:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more plugin REST API endpoints or AJAX handlers fail to verify that the requesting user possesses the required capability before returning data or performing an action. In WordPress, proper authorization typically requires calls to current_user_can() or equivalent capability checks; their absence allows any unauthenticated HTTP client to reach functionality that should be gated behind authentication or a specific role. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the endpoint is reachable over the network with no prerequisites.
