The WP Store Locator plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'wpsl_address' post meta value. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 2. 2. 261 and allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3361 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Store Locator WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.2.261). Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'wpsl_address' post meta field due to improper input sanitization and output escaping. The injected scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page and opens the corresponding map marker info window, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of user data or session tokens. There is no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access but no user interaction beyond viewing the injected content.
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 removing or disabling the WP Store Locator plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin author regarding an official fix or mitigation steps.
