WP MAPS PRO vulnerabilities

The WP MAPS PRO WordPress plugin before version 6.1.1 registers an unauthenticated AJAX action which, given a valid nonce that is publicly emitted on any frontend page enqueuing its map script, unconditionally creates an administrator account and returns a magic-login URL granting interactive admin access.

The WP Maps Pro plugin for WordPress up to version 6.1.0 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability via administrator account creation. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the wpgmp_temp_access_ajax AJAX action, protected only by a nonce publicly embedded on every page, to create a new user with administrator role and take over the entire site.

The WP MAPS PRO WordPress plugin before 6.1.3 does not perform a capability check in one of its AJAX actions, which is also available to unauthenticated users, and does not properly validate a user-controlled path before using it in a file inclusion, allowing unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary existing local PHP files on the server.

The WP MAPS PRO WordPress plugin before 6.1.3 does not perform a capability check in one of its AJAX actions, which is also available to unauthenticated users, and does not restrict the operation it dispatches, allowing unauthenticated attackers to trigger uncontrolled recursion that exhausts server resources, resulting in a Denial of Service.
