What is CVE-2026-103913?
CVE-2026-103913 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in paoltaia GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory, published on 3 Oct 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official 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.
Weakness: CWE-89
