Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24720 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Business Directory Plugin | GeoDirectory. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24720/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24720/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24720","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24720/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24720","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-75mg-7wpw-49q3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"geodirectory","vendor":"ayecode"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The GeoDirectory Business Directory WordPress plugin before 2.1.1.3 was vulnerable to Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GeoDirectory \u003c 2.1.1.3 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24720","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Loco Translate \u003c 2.5.4 - Authenticated PHP Code Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24721"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Enfold Theme \u003c 4.8.4 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24719"},"products":["Business Directory Plugin | GeoDirectory"],"published":"2021-10-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"WordPress GeoDirectory plugin \u003c= 2.3.61 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress GeoDirectory Plugin \u003c= 2.3.28 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-50845","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress GeoDirectory plugin \u003c= 2.3.84 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56259","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-02"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress GeoDirectory plugin \u003c= 2.3.80 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-28"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory","id":"CVE-2024-3732","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-23"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"GeoDirectory \u003c 2.8.120 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2025-6200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-11"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"GeoDirectory \u003c 2.2.22 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into the GeoDirectory WordPress plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24720/"}
