Summary
The GeoDirectory plugin version 2.8.161 and earlier contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exploitable by subscribers. This allows an attacker with subscriber privileges to send HTTP requests to internal server resources.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential internal network scanning, access to sensitive data or services, and possible use of the server for attacks on other systems.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update the GeoDirectory plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. Also, restrict subscriber permissions to the minimum necessary.

- CVE-2026-19091High
The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_revision function in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.169. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). By placing post_type=attachment exclusively in the query string to bypass the consistency check, an attacker can convert an auto-draft GeoDirectory listing into a WordPress attachment with attacker-controlled file paths injected into attachment metadata, which the delete_revision handler then dereferences and unlinks without any post-type or path validation.
- CVE-2026-16968Medium
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before version 2.8.168 does not restrict a user-search handler to users allowed to list users, allowing any authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher to retrieve the email addresses of all registered users, including administrators.
- CVE-2026-42671Medium
