CVE-2026-13456: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in flippercode WP Maps – Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Store Locator with Search, Filters & Listings
The WP Maps – Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Store Locator,Listing,Directory & Filters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.8 via the 'page' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13456 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) in the WP Maps – Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Store Locator with Search, Filters & Listings WordPress plugin by flippercode. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 4.9.8 and is triggered via the 'page' parameter. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges or higher can include arbitrary PHP files, enabling execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server. This can allow bypassing access controls, data disclosure, or full code execution if malicious PHP files can be uploaded and included.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with low privileges to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. This can lead to full compromise of the affected web server, including bypassing access controls and accessing sensitive data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (High), reflecting network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requiring low privileges but high attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user privileges to prevent untrusted users from uploading or including PHP files. Monitor for updates from the vendor flippercode regarding patches or official fixes for this vulnerability.
