Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access who owns a listing can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendation

Update the GeoDirectory plugin to a version newer than 2.8.183 that fixes the Stored XSS vulnerability in the 'business_hours' parameter.

Original NVD description (English source)

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory 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. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is possible because the AJAX save handler validates only post authorship and a nonce with no additional capability check, allowing any subscriber-level user who owns a listing to exploit this vulnerability.
