The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8 does not sanitize and escape some of its category and location fields before outputting them in page attributes, allowing users with a WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8-specific listing-management role (and without the unfiltered_html capability) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute for any visitor of the affected page.

AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before version 1.5.8 lets an authenticated user who holds the plugin's listing-management role (and who does not have the WordPress unfiltered_html capability) inject script into a listing's category and location fields, which the plugin then prints unescaped inside page attributes; the payload persists and executes for any anonymous visitor who views the affected directory page, requiring no further interaction from the victim. The attacker must already possess that elevated listing-management role and the plugin must be installed with directory listings in active use, so this is a genuine but conditional issue rather than a public-facing injection path. …
