Input validation vulnerability in TCD Google Maps 1.8

The TCD Google Maps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a type of hacking called Stored Cross-Site Scripting. This means that anyone with the permission level of contributor or higher can insert malicious code into pages on the website. This malicious code will then run every time someone visits the page, which can be used to cause harm. To protect against this, the TCD Google Maps plugin should be updated to version 1.8 or higher, which has extra security features to prevent this type of attack.
