Description
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'login_msg' attribute of the gd_add_listing shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.203. This is due to insufficient output escaping of the attribute in the notice shown to logged-out visitors. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute whenever a logged-out user accesses an injected page.
