The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads WordPress plugin contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in all versions up to and including 8.10.2.1. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can delete business directory listings owned by other users, including posts in published, draft, or private status. The plugin fails to properly verify user authorization, and the nonces used do not provide an effective authorization barrier because they are exposed to all logged-in users.

The FormGent plugin for WordPress up to version 1.9.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in form submission fields. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when users access affected pages. The issue is tracked as CVE-2025-15028 and has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.2.

The FormGent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary file deletion due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/formgent/responses/attachments REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2 This is due to the REST API route being registered without any authentication middleware in routes/rest/api.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files within the formgent uploads directory. Additionally, on Linux servers where the wp-content/uploads/formgent directory does not yet exist (the default state after plugin installation), the path traversal protection can be bypassed, enabling deletion of arbitrary files including wp-config.php which can lead to complete site takeover via a fresh WordPress installation.
