Summary

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not escape administrator-defined text before writing it into a generated PHP file (CWE-94). A high-privilege user, such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, can use this to run code on the server, and any unauthenticated visitor can then trigger it. The references include a link to a public exploit.

Description from the CNA

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not properly escape administrator-defined text before writing it into a generated PHP file in its own folder, allowing high privilege users such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, who cannot otherwise run code, to achieve Remote Code Execution that any unauthenticated visitor can trigger.
