Technical details

The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the geodir_gps_query_part() function caused by insufficient escaping and missing numeric validation on latitude/longitude coordinate values. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level or higher privileges can inject SQL via the coordinate fields during listing creation or update; the malicious payload is executed when the wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings handler processes a request with sort_by=distance_asc and set_post parameters, allowing arbitrary SQL queries to extract sensitive database information.
