MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with subscriber-level privileges or higher (CVSS PR:L) on a site running GeoDirectory, plus the ability to submit a directory listing/post supplying the 'post_title' value - typically available where front-end listing submission or user registration is enabled (common on directory sites). The payload is stored and then executes only when another user or administrator subsequently views the injected page, so successful impact depends on a victim accessing that content. Limiting factors: attacker must obtain a valid low-privilege account, the site must permit the relevant listing/post submission, and a victim with a useful session must render the injected title; this is not remote-unauthenticated exploitation. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity stored XSS (CVSS 6.4, CWE-79) reported by Wordfence, a credible WordPress-focused source. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low privileges (PR:L = authenticated subscriber-level account), with a scope change (S:C) reflecting that the injected script executes in the browsers of other users/visitors rather than affecting only the vulnerable app. Impact is limited (C:L/I:L, A:N) - consistent with script execution in a victim's session rather than full server compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the practical risk is tempered by the requirement for an attacker-controlled authenticated account and the need for a victim to view the injected page. Net assessment: a real but not emergency-priority issue - patch in normal cadence. The main risk amplifier is that subscriber-level self-registration is common on directory/listing sites, lowering the bar to obtain the needed PR:L access; the main limiter is the absence of any exploitation-in-the-wild signal. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or uses an existing subscriber-level account on a WordPress site running GeoDirectory and submits a directory listing whose 'post_title' contains a malicious script payload, which is stored without adequate sanitization. When a site administrator or other visitor views the page rendering that title, the script executes in their browser session, enabling actions such as session/cookie theft or admin-context actions. No public exploit code was provided in the input. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in GeoDirectory WordPress plugin versions through 2.8.190 allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts through the 'post_title' parameter, which then execute when a victim views the affected listing or page. Exploitation requires a low-privilege account and site settings that permit listing or post submission, and it is not unauthenticated; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 6.4 score reflects scoped script execution with low confidentiality and integrity impact.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed. Apply the upstream fix referenced in WordPress plugin Trac changeset 3736457 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3736457/geodirectory/trunk/includes/post-functions.php) or update GeoDirectory to the latest tagged release once the vendor publishes a fixed version beyond 2.8.190. If an immediate update is not possible, disable or restrict front-end listing/post submission for low-privilege users and limit new subscriber registrations, with the trade-off of blocking legitimate directory contributions and user onboarding. As a compensating control, add a WordPress filter or virtual patch/WAF rule to sanitize or encode the 'post_title' field on save and output, but verify coverage across AJAX handlers, widgets, and post-data render paths because partial escaping may leave alternate execution contexts vulnerable. Monitor https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/9628d0dc-a25a-4cc5-bea7-92aae8f45c0d?source=cve for updated fixed-version guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GeoDirectory is a WordPress directory and classified-listings plugin that handles user-submitted listing content and renders it across post functions, AJAX handlers, dynamic-content widgets, and post-data classes. CVE-2026-107650 is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically stored XSS: the 'post_title' parameter is insufficiently sanitized on input and/or insufficiently escaped on output, so script content persists in the database and executes in the browser of a later viewer. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:paoltaia:geodirectory_-_wp_business_directory_plugin_and_classified_listings_directory:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the GeoDirectory plugin namespace, and the referenced 2.8.188 source lines in post-functions.php, class-geodir-widget-dynamic-content.php, class-geodir-ajax.php, and class-geodir-post-data.php point to title handling and rendering paths. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N confirms network reachability, low privileges required, and scope change due to script execution in the victim's browser context; authentication is required at subscriber level or above per PR:L.

DescriptionCVE.org
The GeoDirectory - WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_title' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.190 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.
