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 confidence

Cross-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.

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

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if the Ydesignservices Multiple Location Google Map plugin is installed
    Navigate 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 naming
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin to view its details; or inspect the plugin's main PHP file for a 'Version' header comment
    Affected if The version number matches or falls within any known vulnerable version range (if such information becomes available)
  3. Inspect stored map location data for unsanitized content
    Access 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 tags
    Affected if Location data contains unescaped HTML or JavaScript code such as <script> tags or event handlers like onerror=, onload=
  4. Verify if CSRF protection is implemented on plugin admin actions
    Examine 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 fields
    Affected if Forms saving location data lack nonce verification tokens or the tokens are not validated on submission
  5. Test for Stored XSS by examining admin dashboard rendering
    If 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 executes
    Affected 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.
