Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.8.97

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, specifically via the display name profile parameter. This allows 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.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 2.8.97, consider disabling the display name profile parameter until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that utilize this parameter to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script injection.
