CVE-2026-103913: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in paoltaia GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory

Published: 10/03/2026 (10/03/2026, 06:31:13 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: paoltaia
Product: GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory

Description

The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the stored latitude/longitude coordinates of a listing in versions up to, and including, 2.8.186. This is due to insufficient escaping and the absence of numeric validation on coordinate values when a listing is saved, combined with the direct string interpolation of those values into a distance sub-expression in geodir_gps_query_part() that is later executed by the public wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings handler when a caller supplies set_post=<pending-listing-id> and sort_by=distance_asc. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-103913 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory for WordPress. The vulnerability exists in versions up to 2.8.186 due to insufficient escaping and lack of numeric validation on stored latitude/longitude coordinates. These values are directly interpolated into a distance sub-expression within the geodir_gps_query_part() function. The vulnerable code is executed by the public wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings handler when a request includes set_post=<pending-listing-id> and sort_by=distance_asc parameters. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher can append malicious SQL queries to extract sensitive data from the database.

Potential Impact

An attacker with at least Subscriber-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required for the attack vector, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently referenced. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict user roles and permissions to limit access to Subscriber-level or higher users, and monitor for suspicious activity related to the wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings AJAX handler. Avoid using affected versions in production environments if possible.
