CVE-2025-32617
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 Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map multiple-location-google-map allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Multiple Location Google Map: from n/a through <= 1.1.
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 · moderate confidenceCross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in the Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map WordPress plugin allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts via Stored XSS. Attackers can exploit this by tricking an administrator into performing an unintended action (e.g., visiting a malicious URL), resulting in script execution within the admin context.

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.
-
Identify if the Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and search for 'Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map' or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder containing 'ydesignservices' or similar namingAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin to view its details; or inspect the plugin's main PHP file for a 'Version' header commentAffected if The version number matches or falls within any known vulnerable version range (if such information becomes available)
-
Inspect stored map location data for unsanitized contentAccess the WordPress database (via phpMyAdmin or CLI) and query the wp_options table or custom plugin tables for map location entries; look for any location names, addresses, or coordinates that contain HTML/script tagsAffected if Location data contains unescaped HTML or JavaScript code such as <script> tags or event handlers like onerror=, onload=
-
Verify if CSRF protection is implemented on plugin admin actionsExamine the plugin's PHP source code for presence of wp_nonce_field() or check_admin_referer() calls when saving map location settings; inspect forms that submit location data for nonce fieldsAffected if Forms saving location data lack nonce verification tokens or the tokens are not validated on submission
-
Test for Stored XSS by examining admin dashboard renderingIf you have access to a test environment, add a map location with a name containing a simple XSS payload like <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>; then view the map in the admin panel to see if the script executesAffected if The XSS payload executes (triggers an alert or visible script behavior) when viewing the map location in the admin interface
A user is affected if the Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map plugin is installed and either lacks CSRF token protection on its location save functions or contains unsanitized stored location data that executes JavaScript in the admin context.

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 dataUpdate to a patched version when available; implement anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing operations and apply proper input validation/sanitization to prevent XSS.
