DescriptionCVE.org

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.168 does not restrict a user-search handler to users allowed to list users, allowing any authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher to retrieve the email addresses of all registered users, including administrators.

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin (before 2.8.168) exposes the email addresses of all registered users - including site administrators - to any authenticated Contributor-level or higher user. The root cause is an unrestricted user-search handler that performs no authorization check against WordPress's capability system, meaning any low-privilege authenticated user can invoke it freely. …
