AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3361 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Store Locator WordPress plugin caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'wpsl_address' post meta value. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes when users access pages containing the injected map marker info window. This vulnerability allows for the execution of malicious scripts in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.2.261. No vendor-provided patch or official remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into the 'wpsl_address' field, which execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected map marker info windows. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the WP Store Locator plugin.
