An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16988 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown 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-2026-16988/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16988/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16988","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16988/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16988","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9fxx-p9p4-4fjv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can view titles and coordinates of pending or draft listings via the markers REST endpoint.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The GeoDirectory  WordPress plugin before 2.8.169 does not perform any authorization check when returning map marker data for a single requested listing, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose the title and exact geographic coordinates of non-public (pending or draft) listings.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GeoDirectory \u003c 2.8.169 - Unauthenticated Pending/Draft Listing Disclosure via markers REST Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-16988","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-16989"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By An Improper Validation Vulnerability in PASE []","id":"CVE-2026-16987"},"products":["GeoDirectory"],"published":"2026-08-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can view titles and coordinates of pending or draft listings via the markers REST endpoint.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16988/"}
