What is CVE-2026-113673?

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin prior to version 2.8.194 contains a security flaw where administrator-defined text isn't properly escaped before being written into a generated PHP file. This misconfiguration allows users with elevated privileges, like subsite administrators in a multisite setup, to execute arbitrary code remotely. As a result, unauthorized visitors can trigger this vulnerability, leading to potential exploitation and compromise of the site.

Affected Version(s)

GeoDirectory 0 < 2.8.194

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.
