Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2023-47767 is a high-severity reflected XSS issue in the WordPress Interactive World Map plugin from Fla-shop.com through version 3.2.0. A successful attack could run attacker-controlled script in a user’s browser after user interaction, risking session abuse, content tampering, or misleading actions.
Executive priority
Treat this as a near-term remediation item for any public WordPress site using this plugin. It is not marked as known exploited in the provided sources, but the unauthenticated, low-complexity XSS profile makes delay unattractive.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-79: improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the Interactive World Map WordPress plugin. CVSS 3.1 is 7.1 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and changed scope.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites using the Fla-shop.com Interactive World Map plugin at version 3.2.0 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify affected configurations beyond the plugin and version range.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV status or other evidence of active exploitation. Risk remains meaningful because the vector is network-reachable, unauthenticated, and low complexity, but it requires user interaction.
Researcher notes
Evidence is thin: the bundle provides CVE metadata, CVSS, CWE-79, affected plugin identity, and a Patchstack entry, but no exploit details, fixed version, or vendor advisory content. Avoid asserting exploit availability or patch status without checking the referenced pages.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Interactive World Map plugin and version.
- If installed at 3.2.0 or earlier, check vendor or Patchstack guidance immediately.
- Upgrade only to a vendor-confirmed fixed release if one is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin if no maintained fixed version is available.
- Review WordPress roles and plugin permissions for unnecessary exposure.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin package name interactive-world-map is installed.
- Record the installed plugin version on every WordPress instance.
- Verify whether any site still runs version 3.2.0 or earlier.
- Check vendor and Patchstack pages for fixed-version or mitigation details.
- Review web logs for suspicious requests around map-related plugin paths or parameters.
