AI-suggested

Upgrade the Directorist plugin to version 8.11 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. If upgrading immediately is not possible, restrict user roles and permissions to limit who can perform featured-listing checkouts, especially when the fee is zero.

Description

The Directorist WordPress plugin before version 8.11 has a vulnerability where it does not verify ownership of a listing before processing a featured-listing checkout. This allows any authenticated user, including subscribers, to publish and feature another user's pending listing if the featured listing fee is zero.
