For example in the file plugin.php, the function iv_directories_update_profile_setting() uses update_user_meta with any data provided by the ajax call, which can be used to give the logged in user admin capabilities. Since the plugins allow user registration via a custom form (even if the blog does not allow users to register) it makes any site using it vulnerable.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://codecanyon.net/user/e-plugins","https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/d079cb16-ead5-4bc8-b0b8-4a4dc2a54c96","https://codecanyon.net/user/e-plugins","https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/d079cb16-ead5-4bc8-b0b8-4a4dc2a54c96"],"products":["e-plugins:directory_pro","e-plugins:final_user","e-plugins:fitness_trainer","e-plugins:hospital_\\&_doctor_directory","e-plugins:hotel_directory","e-plugins:institutions_directory","e-plugins:lawyer_directory","e-plugins:photographer-directory","e-plugins:producer-retailer","e-plugins:real_estate_pro","e-plugins:wp_membership"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:48.383111019+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2020-36666","score":0.00905,"percentile":0.59857,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
