CVE-2024-53769
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 · uneditedCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in lriaudel Custom Post Type to Map Store cpt-to-map-store allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Custom Post Type to Map Store: from n/a through <= 1.1.0.
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 confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the cpt-to-map-store WordPress plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions that inject malicious scripts (Stored XSS) into stored map data. The plugin lacks proper nonce validation on form submissions and input sanitization on stored/displayed data.

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 cpt-to-map-store plugin is installedGo to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins and look for 'cpt-to-map-store' in the list of installed plugins. Note whether it is activated.Affected if the plugin is installed and activated, making its admin interface and stored map data accessible
-
Check the installed plugin versionIn the Plugins list, click on the plugin details or view the plugin header comment in the main plugin file (usually cpt-to-map-store.php) to find the version number.Affected if the version cannot be determined or falls within any affected version range not explicitly provided in CVE documentation
-
Inspect code for nonce validation on form submissionsExamine the main plugin PHP file for wp_nonce_field or wp_verify_nonce calls, particularly around form handling functions that process map data submissions.Affected if no nonce verification is found before processing admin form submissions that store map data
-
Inspect code for input sanitization on stored dataSearch the plugin code for sanitize_text_field, sanitize_textarea_field, or similar sanitization functions when map data is being saved to the database.Affected if input data is stored without sanitization functions like sanitize_text_field before being saved to the database
-
Inspect code for output escaping when displaying map dataSearch the plugin code for esc_html, esc_attr, or similar escaping functions when map data is retrieved and displayed in admin pages or front-end.Affected if stored map data is displayed without proper escaping functions, allowing injected scripts to execute
A user is affected if the cpt-to-map-store plugin is active, lacks nonce verification on form handlers, stores map data without input sanitization, and displays stored data without output escaping, allowing stored XSS via CSRF.

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.
From vendor dataImplement wp_nonce verification on all form submissions and adminajax endpoints, plus add proper input sanitization (sanitize_text_field, esc_attr) and output escaping (esc_html, esc_attr) when storing and displaying map post type data.
