CVE-2024-13648 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Maps for WP WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.2.4. The issue arises from improper input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the 'MapOnePoint' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when the page is accessed, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level.

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject and store malicious scripts within pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the context of any user viewing the page, potentially leading to information disclosure or user session compromise. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires some level of authenticated access.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Maps for WP plugin if feasible. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor addressing this vulnerability.
