Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required - CVSS PR:N and UI:N confirm unauthenticated exploitation against any publicly network-accessible WordPress installation running GeoDirectory through version 2.8.157. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 6.5 medium with a fully unauthenticated network vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a straightforward remote exploitation path requiring no special setup. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running GeoDirectory through v2.8.157 via plugin fingerprinting (e.g., checking /wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/ paths) and sends a crafted HTTP POST request directly to the vulnerable plugin endpoint without supplying any authentication token or cookie. The missing authorization check allows the request to proceed, enabling the attacker to modify or delete directory listings, or trigger actions that degrade plugin availability. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade GeoDirectory beyond version 2.8.157; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/geodirectory/vulnerability/wordpress-geodirectory-plugin-2-8-157-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the exact patched release version, as the specific fixed version number was not confirmed in the available source data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
