CVE-2025-15345: CWE-80 Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS) in interactivegeomaps MapGeo – Interactive Geo Maps
The MapGeo – Interactive Geo Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'map' parameter in the display-map shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.27 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-15345 is a reflected XSS vulnerability in the MapGeo – Interactive Geo Maps WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.6.27. The issue stems from improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags (CWE-80) in the 'map' parameter of the display-map shortcode. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users who click on crafted links, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability requires user interaction and does not require privileges to exploit.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser when they interact with a maliciously crafted link. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of session cookies or manipulation of displayed content. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the plugin if feasible. Additionally, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block reflected XSS attempts targeting the 'map' parameter may reduce risk. Educate users to avoid clicking suspicious links related to affected sites.
