- CVE-2026-3361, 23 Apr 2026
- The WP Store Locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpsl_address' post meta value in versions up to, and including, 2.2.261 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page and opens an injected map marker info window.

What to do if you run WP Store Locator
If you run WP Store Locator, 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.

After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
