Stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Apr 23, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in AyeCode Ltd GeoDirectory 2.3.48 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via shortcode attributes. The gd_single_tabs shortcode renders user-controlled tag-selector attributes without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Contributor-level access to a details template is required, and the stored script runs in a visitor's browser when the injected page is opened.
