CVE-2024-3604
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe OSM – OpenStreetMap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'tagged_filter' attribute of the 'osm_map_v3' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe OSM – OpenStreetMap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in the 'osm_map_v3' shortcode's 'tagged_filter' parameter. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject malicious SQL queries due to insufficient input escaping and lack of prepared statement usage, allowing extraction of sensitive database information.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the OSM plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'OSM - OpenStreetMap' or 'Hyumika Openstreetmap' plugin. Note the installed version number displayed there.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 6.0.2 or lower.
-
Confirm the exact plugin versionClick on the plugin name in the WordPress plugins list to view the version details, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/osm/ directory if you have file access.Affected if The version displayed is 6.0.2 or lower, indicating the vulnerable version is installed.
-
Search for usage of the vulnerable shortcode with tagged_filterSearch your WordPress database or content files (posts, pages, widgets) for the string 'osm_map_v3' combined with 'tagged_filter'. Use WP CLI: wp db query "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%osm_map_v3%' AND post_content LIKE '%tagged_filter%'" or search theme files for the shortcode registration.Affected if The shortcode 'osm_map_v3' with the 'tagged_filter' parameter is actively used in any post, page, or widget content.
-
Review user role permissionsIn WordPress admin, go to Users > All Users and check if any users exist with Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator roles. The vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher.Affected if There are user accounts with Contributor-level access or higher, particularly untrusted or external users.
Your environment is affected if the OSM - OpenStreetMap plugin version is 6.0.2 or lower AND the osm_map_v3 shortcode with tagged_filter parameter is in use AND you have users with at least Contributor-level access.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the OSM – OpenStreetMap plugin to version 6.0.4 or later which patches the SQL injection vulnerability by implementing proper input sanitization and using prepared SQL statements.
Upgrade to OSM – OpenStreetMap version 6.0.4
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Find the 'OSM – OpenStreetMap' plugin
- Click 'Update now' if an update is available, or manually download version 6.0.4 from wordpress.org and upload via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
