Description
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the geodir_business_hours_post_meta, geodir_ninja_forms, geodir_report_post_form and geodir_submit_report_post AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.197, due to missing checks that the requested listing is published and viewable by the current user. These handlers load a listing by a user-supplied ID and return its business hours, render a Ninja Forms form with that post set as the global post, or accept a report for it. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to confirm that draft, pending, private or password-protected listings exist and to read their business hours and any post data the configured form shows.
