CVE-2026-113491 Details
Description
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not validate a user-supplied image URL before using it as a local file path when saving a front-end listing, allowing users with Subscriber-level access and above to read files from outside the web root and to delete files on the server, limited to file names that carry an allowed media extension. A disclosed file is re-published at a public URL and its original is deleted as a side effect.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.8.194. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly validate user-supplied image URLs before using them as local file paths when saving front-end listings. This flaw allows users with Subscriber-level access and above to read files from outside the web root and delete files on the server, restricted to file names with allowed media extensions. When a file is disclosed, it is re-published at a public URL, and the original file is deleted as a side effect.
Users are advised to update the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin to version 2.8.194 or later.
