MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to deliver crafted input to a site running Easy Google Maps <= 1.14.6 AND to induce a victim to interact (UI:R) - typically clicking a malicious link or visiting an attacker-influenced page - for the injected script to execute. The exact vulnerable parameter and sink are not specified in the advisory. The limiting factors are the mandatory user interaction (reducing viability of unattended/automated attacks) and the Low individual C/I/A impacts; impact escalates materially only if the victim is a privileged user such as an administrator. No non-default configuration is stated as required beyond having the plugin installed and active. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than an urgent one. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, 7.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated XSS whose severity is elevated to 'High' primarily by the scope change (S:C) inherent to cross-context script execution, offset by required user interaction (UI:R) and only Low impacts across C/I/A. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code (POC) were provided, so all exploitation signals point to no active or automated exploitation at this time - the score is driven by the vector, not by observed attacker behavior. There is no SSVC decision data in the input. The signals are internally consistent (Patchstack-reported reflected/stored XSS with UI:R aligns with a 7.1). The main uncertainty is that the description is sparse: it does not name the injected parameter, the sink, or whether the XSS is reflected or stored. UI:R combined with unauthenticated (PR:N) most commonly indicates reflected XSS requiring a victim to click a crafted link, which limits mass exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker crafts a URL or request against a WordPress site running Easy Google Maps <= 1.14.6 that injects JavaScript into a page rendered by the plugin, then lures a victim (potentially a logged-in administrator) into loading it. When the victim's browser renders the page, the script executes in the site's origin, enabling session/cookie theft, admin-action forgery, or redirection. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Unauthenticated cross-site scripting in the Easy Google Maps WordPress plugin (Supsystic, versions up to and including 1.14.6) allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary script in a victim's browser session on any site where the plugin is installed and active. Exploitation requires the victim to interact - typically by clicking a crafted link or visiting an attacker-influenced page (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, score 7.1) - and the advisory does not disclose the specific vulnerable parameter or sink, which limits precise targeting but not the underlying flaw. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV entry, so this is a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than an urgent one; impact escalates materially only when the interacting victim holds elevated privileges such as an administrator, where a single successful injection can lead to full site compromise.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis: the advisory reference lists only the Patchstack record and specifies no fixed version, so the first step is to check the Patchstack entry and the plugin's WordPress.org page for an updated Easy Google Maps release above 1.14.6 and upgrade immediately once it exists. Until such a release is confirmed, the most reliable mitigation is to deactivate and remove the plugin on sites that do not need embedded Google Maps - this fully removes the attack surface at the cost of losing maps functionality. If the plugin must stay active, front it with a web application firewall rule or a Content Security Policy (script-src restricted to trusted origins, avoiding 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval') to block inline injected script; note that CSP can break plugins and themes that legitimately rely on inline JavaScript, and WAF signatures are generic for XSS and may miss encoding variants. Because the flaw requires user interaction, reducing exposure also involves not clicking unsolicited or shortened links that target the site and limiting administrator browsing on the affected installation; since the assessed scope is changed (S:C), session cookies and authenticated admin sessions are the highest-value targets, so forcing re-authentication and reviewing active sessions on the site is prudent while the fix is pending.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Easy Google Maps plugin for WordPress, distributed by Supsystic and matched by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:supsystic:easy_google_maps:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which reflects the vendor's plugin namespace rather than any specific build. The root cause falls under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, i.e. cross-site scripting): user-supplied input reaching the plugin's output path is not correctly encoded or escaped before being rendered into an HTML response, so browser-side script executes in the origin of the WordPress site rather than in the plugin's own context. The CVSS vector's PR:N confirms no authentication is needed to supply the malicious input, while UI:R confirms the payload only fires after a victim interacts; the S:C (scope changed) rating reflects that the vulnerability exists in the plugin but the resulting script execution affects the broader site origin and any cookies or non-HttpOnly tokens reachable there. The Low C/I/A sub-scores indicate the immediate per-request effect is limited to script execution and page tampering, and the advisory (published via Patchstack) does not specify the exact parameter, hook, or template that reflects the input, so defenders cannot narrow the attack surface to a single endpoint.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Easy Google Maps <= 1.14.6 versions.
Executive ViewAI
Any WordPress site running the Supsystic Easy Google Maps plugin at version 1.14.6 or earlier is exposed to an unauthenticated cross-site scripting flaw that lets an attacker execute malicious script inside a logged-in user's browser session, and no vendor patch is currently available. The exposure is most dangerous when the victim is an administrator, because one successful injection can translate into full takeover of the site, its content, and any customer data it stores or processes. Leadership should treat this as a site-integrity and brand-trust risk that requires immediate inventory and interim mitigations rather than a wait-for-patch posture.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or uninstall Easy Google Maps (Supsystic) on any site that does not require it; where it must remain active, apply WAF/virtual patching rules for cross-site scripting against plugin endpoints, deploy a restrictive Content-Security-Policy (script-src) to blunt injected script execution, restrict and monitor administrator browsing and sessions, enforce least privilege and MFA on admin accounts, and monitor vendor channels for a patched release above 1.14.6.
