CVE-2026-8385
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 WP Go Maps WordPress plugin before 10.0.10 does not properly enforce the marker approval filter on the admin-ajax fallback for its datatables route, allowing unauthenticated visitors to retrieve marker records that the site owner has not approved for public display, including their title, category, address and description fields.
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 WP Go Maps plugin before version 10.0.10 fails to enforce its marker approval filter on the admin-ajax.php fallback endpoint used by its datatables route. This allows any unauthenticated visitor to query this endpoint and retrieve marker records that have not been approved for public display, exposing sensitive fields including title, category, address, and description.
