Description
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the attachment ID in listing image and file field values in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.193. This is due to the update_attachment function updating the attachment record named by a user-supplied ID without checking that the attachment belongs to the listing being saved. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, who can submit listings to change the title, caption, order, featured flag and approval status of images and files attached to other users' listings.
