## Overview

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.
