AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the WordPress GeoDirectory plugin for versions up to 2.8.174. Attackers can inject arbitrarily crafted SQL statements through the plugin’s input parameters, enabling data exfiltration, manipulation, or complete takeover of the site’s database. This flaw represents a classic data‑handling weakness identified as CWE‑89.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that employ the GeoDirectory plugin version 2.8.174 or earlier are affected. No other vendors or products are listed as impacted by this vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates a critical severity level, and the vulnerability is unauthenticated, which raises the likelihood of exploitation if the plugin’s endpoints are publicly reachable. EPSS data is not available, so the precise exploitation probability remains unknown, yet the lack of required credentials increases risk. The plugin is not catalogued in the CISA KEV list. Based on the description, the attack vector is inferred to be via unauthenticated web requests to the plugin’s endpoints.

  • If an immediate update is not feasible, block or restrict HTTP requests that target the plugin’s vulnerable endpoints using a WAF or server rule to prevent unauthorized input.
  • Audit all WordPress installations to confirm the GeoDirectory plugin version, and remove or disable the plugin on sites where applying a patch is not possible.
