What is CVE-2025-15677?

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.8.110 lacks adequate sanitization and escaping of input for the place-category setting on admin pages. This oversight allows users with high privileges, such as editors and above, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite environments. This vulnerability emphasizes the importance of proper input validation and security measures in web applications to protect against potential exploitation.

Affected Version(s)

GeoDirectory 0 < 2.8.110

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
