CVE-2026-113673 Details
Description
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not properly escape administrator-defined text before writing it into a generated PHP file in its own folder, allowing high privilege users such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, who cannot otherwise run code, to achieve Remote Code Execution that any unauthenticated visitor can trigger.
A remote code execution 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 escape text defined by administrators before writing it into a generated PHP file within its own directory. This flaw allows high-privilege users, such as subsite administrators on a multisite network who cannot normally execute code, to execute remote code that can be triggered by any unauthenticated visitor.
Users are advised to update the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin to version 2.8.194 or later.
