CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary user meta write due to inadequate validation in the `my_profile_update()` function, which lacks nonce verification and capability checks. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to modify user meta values, potentially leading to unauthorized data manipulation. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The Mapster WP Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Meta Write in all versions up to, and including, 1.23.0 via the `my_profile_update()` function. This is due to the function performing no nonce verification, no capability check, and no allowlist validation on the meta key supplied via the `acf-photo-gallery-groups` POST parameter before passing both the meta key and its corresponding value directly to `update_user_meta()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary user meta values, though privilege escalation is not possible.
