AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability affects versions before 6.1.3, upgrading to version 6.1.3 or later is recommended once official fixes are available. Until then, restrict access to the vulnerable AJAX action if possible or apply other temporary mitigations as advised by the vendor.

Description

The WP MAPS PRO WordPress plugin before 6.1.3 does not perform a capability check in one of its AJAX actions, which is also available to unauthenticated users, and does not properly validate a user-controlled path before using it in a file inclusion, allowing unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary existing local PHP files on the server.
