MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only that the GeoDirectory plugin (any version before 2.8.194) be installed and reachable, with the affected unauthenticated AJAX handler exposed as it is by default - no authentication, no user interaction, and no special plugin configuration are described as prerequisites. The practical requirement is that the target site actually contains non-public listings (draft, pending, private, or password-protected) whose numeric IDs the attacker can supply or enumerate; a site with only published listings has little to disclose. The limiting factor on impact, not on exploitability, is that only listing content is exposed (confidentiality-only, C:L) - no write access, code execution, or account data is implied by the description. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority information-disclosure flaw, not a high-urgency emergency. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 5.3) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low-complexity, no authentication, no user interaction, with only a low confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - matching a CWE-200 disclosure of non-public listing content. The supporting signals point to low real-world pressure: EPSS is 0.20% (9th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and the exploit artifact is a WPScan advisory reference that is not verified as working exploit code. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), consistent with a patch-this-cycle posture rather than drop-everything. The main tension is that PR:N/AC:L makes exploitation trivially easy and scriptable, yet the impact is bounded to reading draft/pending/private listing content (C:L only) - so ease of exploitation is high but consequence is limited. No conflicting data was found; the vendor-assigned severity, the description, and the CVSS vector all agree. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker enumerates numeric listing IDs and sends them to the vulnerable GeoDirectory AJAX handler, which returns the content of listings regardless of their draft, pending, or private status. Over sequential IDs this exposes unpublished or deliberately non-public directory entries (and any password-protected ones) without logging in. A public PoC reference exists via WPScan; it is not verified as working exploit code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 24, 2026
GeoDirectory WordPress plugin versions before 2.8.194 fail to enforce status, ownership and password checks in an unauthenticated AJAX listing-loading handler, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the content of draft, pending, private or password-protected listings by supplying their IDs. The flaw is confidentiality-only (C:L) and the practical impact depends on the site actually containing non-public listings with discoverable IDs. This is a genuine but moderate-priority information-disclosure issue, not a high-urgency emergency; no CISA KEV confirmation is present, EPSS is low at 0.20% (9th percentile), and a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code.
RemediationAI
Update GeoDirectory to version 2.8.194 or later; the vendor patch is available and 2.8.194 is the first fixed release for the affected range before 2.8.194. Apply the update through the WordPress plugin update mechanism and verify the installed version. Refer to the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/5a1c17a0-c513-4f64-91c7-09c0f1878c71/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-113492. No validated workaround is described in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GeoDirectory is a WordPress directory plugin that stores listings as WordPress posts with statuses and optional passwords. Its unauthenticated AJAX handler loads listing data by ID and, per the advisory, omits checks on post status, ownership and password, so the handler returns non-public records to any caller. This is CWE-200 information exposure; the CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:geodirectory:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* leaves the product/version mapping unspecified, while EUVD lists GeoDirectory versions from 0 before 2.8.194. The trigger is the AJAX listing load with attacker-supplied IDs; no authentication, user interaction or special plugin configuration is described as a prerequisite.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not perform status, ownership or password checks when loading listings for one of its unauthenticated AJAX handlers, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose the content of non-public (draft, pending and private) listings by supplying their IDs.
