{"cve":"CVE-2026-8839","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-06T05:16:29.510","modified":"2026-07-23T07:10:00.113","status":"Deferred","description":"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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-639"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/tags/2.95.10/mappress_api.php#L253","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/tags/2.95.10/mappress_api.php#L268","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/tags/2.95.10/mappress_api.php#L328","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/tags/2.95.10/mappress_api.php#L39","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/tags/2.95.10/mappress_api.php#L50"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:37:48.043517290+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8839","score":0.01018,"percentile":0.63369,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
