CVE-2026-16988Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated listing disclosure via single-marker REST request

Published Aug 9, 2026 · Updated Aug 9, 2026

Information disclosure in AyeCode Ltd GeoDirectory before 2.8.169 allows remote attackers to read non-public titles and coordinates via REST. The markers endpoint broadens allowed post statuses when post[] contains exactly one enumerable listing ID, returning pending and draft records. No authentication or cookies are required; a successful request exposes the listing title and exact latitude and longitude without revealing a public permalink.
