CVE-2026-84098
Last modified
CVE-2026-84098 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads WordPress plugin before 8.9.5 does not properly verify a listing's ownership before deleting it, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to delete arbitrary listings, including ones belonging to other users. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2023-1889 / CVE-2023-35052: a separate, unaddressed listing-deletion path allows the same impact, from at least version 3.1.0 through the current release.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
