CVE-2026-110703 Details
Description
The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_content' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.191 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 requires the attacker to own a published listing, as the ownership check in GeoDir_Post_Data::can_edit() limits who can store the payload; however, because ajax_save_post() re-applies the existing post_status, edits to an already-published listing bypass re-moderation and remain live immediately.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the GeoDirectory WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress. This issue affects all versions through 2.8.191 and arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages, which are executed when users access the affected page. Exploitation requires ownership of a published listing, as the plugin's ownership check restricts who can inject the script. However, modifications to an already-published listing bypass re-moderation, allowing the injected script to go live immediately.
Users are advised to update the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin to version 2.8.192 or a newer patched version.
