Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to vuxvinh.
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.193. This is due to insufficient validation of a user supplied path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read arbitrary media files on the server.
