Title
Interactive Geo Maps <= 1.5.9 - Authenticated (Editor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Summary
The Interactive Geo Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the action content parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.5.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with editor level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
