Description
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the link label of URL-type custom fields (such as the Website field) in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.182. This is due to the label part of a URL field value (the text after a '|' separator) being decoded when the listing is displayed and printed into the link text without output escaping, while the URL sanitization applied on save keeps the separator and percent-encoded characters. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above who can submit listings from the front end, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the listing.
