Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in GeoDirectory <= 2.8.173 versions.

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the deleterevision function in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.169. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). By placing posttype=attachment exclusively in the query string to bypass the consistency check, an attacker can convert an auto-draft GeoDirectory listing into a WordPress attachment with attacker-controlled file paths injected into attachment metadata, which the deleterevision handler then dereferences and unlinks without any post-type or path validation.

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.169 does not perform any authorization check when returning map marker data for a single requested listing, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose the title and exact geographic coordinates of non-public (pending or draft) listings.

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.110 does not sanitise and escape a place-category setting before outputting it back in an admin page, allowing high-privilege users such as editors and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfilteredhtml capability is disallowed (for example in a multisite setup).

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.

Subscriber Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in GeoDirectory <= 2.8.161 versions.

Contributor PHP Object Injection in Events Calendar for GeoDirectory <= 2.3.25 versions.

The Events Calendar for GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 2.3.28. This is due to the ajaxayiaction() handler only applying striptags(escsql()) — with no allow-list — to the attacker-controlled $POST['type'] and $POST['postid'] values before forwarding them to updateayidata(), which calls updateusermeta($currentuser->ID, $rsvpargs['type'], $posts). By passing type=wpcapabilities and postid=administrator, an attacker writes ['subscriber'=>true,'administrator'=>'administrator'] into their own wpcapabilities user meta; WPUser::getrolecaps() then treats the 'administrator' array key as an active role on the next request. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator.

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.139 via the 'postattachmentupload' function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to attach arbitrary image files to arbitrary places.

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the dist parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.97 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.120 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the displayname profile parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.97 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.

The GeoDirectory – WordPress Business Directory Plugin, or Classified Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'gdsingletabs' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.48 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
