WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings < 8.5.3 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Data Export and Slug Update

Description

The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'directorist_prepare_listings_export_file' and 'directorist_type_slug_change' AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 8.5.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to export listing details and change the directorist slug.
