What is CVE-2026-113674?

The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.8.194 lacks proper verification checks for ownership of listings submitted by users who are not logged in. This oversight allows unauthenticated attackers to gain the ability to modify, unpublish, attach images to, or reassign ownership of any listings submitted by guests when guest posting is enabled. Such a vulnerability poses significant risks to website integrity and user content.

Affected Version(s)

GeoDirectory 0 < 2.8.194

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
