Other vulnerabilities in GeoDirectory
See all- CVE-2026-66604High
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in GeoDirectory versions up to 2.8.173. An attacker can inject malicious script without authentication.
- CVE-2026-84813Critical
Unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in GeoDirectory versions up to 2.8.174. An attacker can inject SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized database access.
- CVE-2026-39512Critical
GeoDirectory versions up to 2.8.152 are vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection.
- CVE-2026-103913High
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection via stored latitude/longitude coordinates of a listing in versions up to and including 2.8.186. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above can append SQL queries to existing queries to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation is possible through the public wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings handler with set_post and sort_by parameters.
- CVE-2026-96766Medium
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'business_hours' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.8.183 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The AJAX save handler validates only post authorship and a nonce with no additional capability check.
- CVE-2026-81271High
Unauthenticated CSRF vulnerability in GeoDirectory plugin versions up to 2.8.176. An attacker can exploit CSRF to perform unwanted actions in the context of a logged-in administrator.
- 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-2026-57681Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-42671Medium
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress has a missing authorization vulnerability, allowing exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels. This issue affects versions from n/a through 2.8.157.
