CVE-2026-116752

GeoDirectory <= 2.8.197 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'post_images' Image Title Delimiter Injection

Published Oct 31, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_images' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.197 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 injected payload does not fire for the attacker directly; it executes in the browser of any Administrator or Editor who opens the pending listing's edit screen, making this a privilege-escalation-capable stored XSS chain triggered through normal editorial workflow.
