{"id":"CVE-2026-93897","published":"2026-09-25T07:16:56.370","lastModified":"2026-09-25T14:17:24.443","description":"The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Text-type Custom Field (e.g., 'phone') in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.181 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 payload must be stored in a text-type custom field (such as a phone field) via the AJAX geodir_save_post endpoint, using entity-encoded angle brackets (e.g., <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>) to bypass the strpos()-gated tag-stripping check.","cvssScore":6.4,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-79"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.181/includes/class-geodir-ajax.php#L821","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.181/includes/formatting-functions.php#L56","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.181/includes/post-functions.php#L1347","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.181/includes/post-functions.php#L1803","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3705730%40geodirectory&new=3705730%40geodirectory","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/1390b079-784c-4c36-bec4-a70cd8484ca5?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
