The Privilege Escalation vulnerability discovered in the WP Google Map WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.8.0) allows authenticated low-role users to create, edit, and delete maps.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
