CVE-2023-0278 – GeoDirectory < 2.2.24 - Admin+ SQLi

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-0278

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.2.24 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users such as admin. The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'selected', 'post_type' parameters in versions up to, and including, 2.2.23 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for administrator-level attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. • https://bulletin.iese.de/post/geodirectory_2-2-21 https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/98deb84e-01ca-4b70-a8f8-0a226daa85a6 • CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') •
