Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict page creation and editing privileges to trusted users only and consider monitoring for suspicious activity related to page content. Avoid visiting or sharing pages created or edited by untrusted users.

Description

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the MiKa OpenStreetMap WordPress plugin versions prior to 6.1.15. A logged-in user with page creation or editing privileges can inject malicious scripts via crafted HTTP requests. When other users visit the affected page, the injected script may execute in their browsers, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4, indicating medium severity. No known exploits are reported in the wild. Patch status is not confirmed as no patch or vendor advisory is provided.

Impact

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of affected users' browsers, potentially resulting in information disclosure or manipulation of user sessions. The vulnerability requires a logged-in user with page editing rights to inject the script and user interaction to trigger execution. There is no indication of impact to availability. No known exploits are currently reported.

Summary

The MiKa OpenStreetMap WordPress plugin before version 6.1.15 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows a logged-in user with page editing privileges to embed malicious scripts through crafted HTTP requests. This script executes in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 5.4 (medium severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, and user interaction.
