Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-30588 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the WordPress plugin Map Contact by ryan_xantoo, which enables Stored XSS. The flaw affects all versions of the Map Contact plugin from unknown initial versions through 3.0.4 inclusive. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1, with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, and maps to CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery).

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) by tricking authenticated users into interacting with a malicious request (UI:R), such as via a crafted link or form. Exploitation changes scope (S:C) and allows storage of XSS payloads, potentially leading to low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L).
