- CVE-2026-65564, 27 Jul 2026
- Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure in MapPress Maps for WordPress <= 2.97.6 versions. CVE record
- CVE-2026-56011, 26 Jun 2026
- Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in MapPress Maps for WordPress <= 2.97.3 versions. CVE record
- CVE-2026-8839, 6 Jun 2026
- The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in all versions up to, and including, 2.96.6. This is due to missing ownership verification in the REST API routes registered via `Mappress_Api::rest_api_init()`, where the GET `/wp-json/mapp/v1/maps/{mapid}` endpoint uses `'permission_callback' => '__return_true'` and the write endpoints (POST update, DELETE, PATCH mutate, POST clone, POST empty_trash) only check the generic `edit_posts` capability without confirming that the requester owns the targeted map - a gap that is not compensated at the model layer, as `Mappress_Map::get()`, `save()`, `delete()`, `mutate()`, and `empty_trash()` all operate on any caller-supplied map ID without an ownership check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive map data - including POI titles, addresses, coordinates, and body content - for any map on the site by enumerating map IDs, and for authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to modify, delete, trash/restore, or clone any map regardless of its author.

- The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Map block in all versions up to, and including, 2.94.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

What to do if you run MapPress
If you run MapPress, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
