{"cve":"CVE-2026-104993","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-10T05:16:39.880","modified":"2026-10-13T13:30:21.620","status":"Deferred","description":"The GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'email (Contact Email custom field htmlvar_name)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.188 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Successful exploitation requires that an administrator has added and configured the Contact Email custom field to render on the public single-listing output page, and that the administrator subsequently approves the attacker's submitted listing.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://github.com/AyeCode/geodirectory/archive/refs/heads/master.zip","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.188/includes/class-geodir-post-data.php#L949","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.188/includes/custom-fields/output-functions.php#L1448","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/geodirectory/tags/2.8.188/includes/post-functions.php#L1845","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3728472/geodirectory/trunk/includes/custom-fields/output-functions.php"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:58:01.639778232+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-104993","score":0.00195,"percentile":0.09124,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
