Summary
The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.195 does not check the status or ownership of a listing referenced by an id attribute in its field shortcodes. An authenticated attacker with the Contributor role or above can view the content and custom fields of other users' draft, pending, private and trashed listings. The flaw is classified as CWE-200, exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor. The CVSS vector requires high privileges and no user interaction, and rates the confidentiality impact as low.
