Description
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.196 does not properly sanitise or escape a post badge click-through link value before outputting it in an anchor element on a listing, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against higher-privileged users who view the listing, including an administrator reviewing moderated content.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.8.196. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize or escape the 'link' attribute of a post badge before displaying it as an anchor element in listings.

Users are advised to update the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin to version 2.8.196 or later.
