NVD · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in RomanCode MapSVG mapsvg allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects MapSVG: from n/a through < 8.6.13.

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

MapSVG versions prior to 8.6.13 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The product appears to have an access control mechanism, but it is misconfigured, enabling unauthorized users to access functionality or data that should be restricted.

MitigationUpgrade MapSVG to version 8.6.13 or later and review access control configurations to ensure proper authorization checks are enforced for all sensitive operations and resources.

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 the installed MapSVG version
    Locate the MapSVG version number in your WordPress plugin admin panel, version file, or plugin header comment in the main PHP file
    Affected if The installed version is earlier than 8.6.13 (e.g., 8.6.12, 8.6.10, 8.5.x, etc.)
  2. Review access control security level settings
    Navigate to MapSVG settings or admin configuration areas where security levels or access permissions are defined; inspect the configuration values for any permissive or misconfigured access rules
    Affected if Security level settings are set to a permissive value (such as public, guest, or no role restriction) or contain unexpected non-restrictive configurations
  3. Test access to restricted functionality with a low-privilege user
    Log in as a user with minimal permissions (e.g., subscriber, guest, or unauthenticated user) and attempt to access MapSVG admin functions, data export features, or SVG management endpoints that should require elevated privileges
    Affected if Low-privilege or unauthenticated users can access functions or data that should be restricted to administrators or higher roles
  4. Inspect API endpoints for authorization gaps
    Use a browser developer tool or HTTP client to examine MapSVG AJAX or REST API calls; check whether authorization tokens or role checks are enforced on sensitive endpoints
    Affected if API requests to sensitive MapSVG functions succeed without proper authentication or with insufficient user privileges
  5. Audit user role assignments and capability checks
    Review which WordPress roles are assigned MapSVG capabilities and verify that role-to-capability mappings are properly restricted in the plugin configuration
    Affected if Roles that should have limited or no access are granted administrative or elevated capabilities within MapSVG

Your environment is affected if MapSVG is installed at a version prior to 8.6.13 AND the access control settings or role permissions allow unauthorized users to access restricted functionality.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade MapSVG to version 8.6.13 or later and review access control configurations to ensure proper authorization checks are enforced for all sensitive operations and resources.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

MapSVG 8.6.13 or later

  1. 1. Backup your current MapSVG installation and database before making any changes.
  2. 2. Download MapSVG version 8.6.13 or later from the official vendor source.
  3. 3. Upgrade the MapSVG plugin/extension to version 8.6.13 or newer.
  4. 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the MapSVG version in your admin panel.
  5. 5. Test critical map functionalities to ensure the plugin operates correctly after the upgrade.
  6. 6. Review user access controls and authorization settings to confirm the security fix is properly applied.
