WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

GeoDirectory < 2.8.194 - Admin+ RCE via DB Text Export

Description

The plugin does not properly escape administrator-defined text before writing it into a generated PHP file in its own folder, allowing high privilege users such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, who cannot otherwise run code, to achieve Remote Code Execution that any unauthenticated visitor can trigger.
