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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `geodirectory_wp_business_directory_plugin_and_classified_listings_directory <= 2.8.199`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":35,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.2,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
