WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory < 2.8.98 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Display_name Parameter

Description

The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the display_name 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.
