CVE-2024-13887Network attack vector

Unauthenticated listing image addition via unchecked upload key

Published Mar 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Authorization bypass in Business Directory Plugin 6.4.14 and earlier allows remote attackers to add arbitrary images to listings. The ajax_listing_submit_image_upload function accepts a user-controlled upload key without validating that it belongs to the targeted listing, then associates the supplied image with that listing. No authentication or user interaction is required; exploitation changes listing content but does not disclose data or interrupt the site.
