Summary
CVE-2026-14839 is an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability in the Mapster WP Maps WordPress plugin before version 1.24.0. A public REST endpoint performs no authorization or post-status validation, allowing anonymous attackers to read the title and full content of any post — including unpublished ones. The issue is rated High (CVSS 7.5).
Technical details
- Root cause: A public REST API endpoint registered by the plugin performs no authorization check and no post-status validation.
- Trigger conditions: An unauthenticated request to the affected REST endpoint; no authentication or user interaction required.
- Attack vector: Network (remote, over HTTP/HTTPS).
- Impact: Disclosure of the title and full content of any post regardless of status, including draft, pending, private, and trashed posts, resulting in exposure of confidential content.
Affected software
- Mapster WP Maps WordPress plugin: all versions before 1.24.0.
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 7.5 (High)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Update the Mapster WP Maps plugin to version 1.24.0 or later.
- If no patch can be applied: Restrict access to the plugin’s REST API endpoints at the web server or WAF layer, and limit anonymous access to the site’s REST API until the update is deployed.
