Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with subscriber-level privileges or above (PR:L), which in practice means the target site must permit user registration or the attacker must already hold credentials; the attacker then abuses the listing-submission flow, specifically the 'post_images' title field (file_info[2]), which GeoDirectory stores without sufficient sanitization and renders without output escaping. The payload executes only when another user subsequently loads the page containing the injected listing, so impact depends on victims viewing attacker-controlled content. Limiting factors: the subscriber-or-above authentication barrier (sites with registration disabled are far less exposed) and the need for a victim to visit the injected page for payload execution.

Impact

This is a realistic but moderate-priority issue rather than an emergency. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 6.4 Medium) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges (subscriber-level, PR:L) with a scope change (S:C) reflecting that injected script executes in other users' browser contexts. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC indicator was supplied in the input, so exploitation-probability and automation signals cannot be assessed; absence of these is not evidence of safety but does mean there is no confirmed active exploitation. The principal real-world constraint is the authentication requirement: an attacker must first obtain a subscriber (or higher) account, which on sites allowing open registration is trivial but on closed/invite-only sites is a meaningful barrier. There are no conflicting signals in the data - the stored-XSS description is consistent with the CVSS vector - so the main gap is simply the missing threat-intel enrichment (EPSS/KEV/POC not provided).

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or uses an existing subscriber-level account on a site running GeoDirectory and submits a listing, injecting a malicious script payload through the 'post_images' title field (file_info[2]). Because the input is neither sanitized on storage nor escaped on output, the script is persisted and later executes in the browser of any user - including administrators - who views the affected listing page, enabling session/cookie theft or actions in the victim's context. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the GeoDirectory - WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory for WordPress (all versions up to and including 2.8.190) lets an authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or above inject arbitrary JavaScript through a submitted listing image title (post_images / file_info[2]). The injected script is persisted in the database and executes in the browser of any user who later views the affected listing or map view, scoring 6.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) with a scope change because the script runs in the context of the vulnerable site. Exploitation is gated by the need for a valid low-privilege account (the target site must allow registration or the attacker must already hold credentials) and by a victim subsequently loading the tainted page; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply an updated GeoDirectory release once one is published for versions above 2.8.190; a fix appears to have landed in the plugin's trunk via changeset 3736457 (assets/js/map.js), so this is best described as an upstream fix available (commit/changeset); released patched version not independently confirmed - verify the plugin changelog rather than assuming a given build is fixed. If upgrading immediately is not possible, restrict the attack surface by disabling open user registration and revoking subscriber-and-above listing submission rights so untrusted users cannot create listing content (trade-off: this breaks legitimate community-submission workflows), and by moderating or stripping image title metadata before listings are published. Blocking or sanitizing the post_images/file_info request parameters at a WAF and rate-limiting or manually approving new listings are temporary compensating controls whose trade-off is potential false positives on legitimate multipart uploads and added editorial overhead. Monitor the Wordfence advisory linked in the references and the plugin's Trac changesets for the tagged fix release.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a classic CWE-79 improper-neutralization issue in a WordPress plugin: user-controlled data is stored without adequate input sanitization and later rendered without output escaping. GeoDirectory's listing-submission and media-handling flow accepts image metadata, and the image title supplied via the post_images parameter (file_info[2]) is persisted by the plugin's media/post-data handling (see includes/class-geodir-media.php, includes/class-geodir-post-data.php and includes/image-functions.php in tag 2.8.188) and subsequently written into page and map output (assets/js/map.js) without escaping. Because the malicious value is stored server-side, the XSS is persistent rather than reflected, and any visitor rendering that listing - including the map marker/popup driven by map.js - executes the attacker's markup. The CVSS vector's S:C reflects that the injected script executes outside the component's original privilege context, with limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact.

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_images (file_info[2] = 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.
