# CVE-2022-2046: Directorist - Business Directory Plugin \< 7.2.3 - Admin+ Arbitrary File Upload

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 7.2.3
- Published: 2022-08-08 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings: from 7.2.3, fixed in 7.2.3

## Description

The Directorist WordPress plugin before 7.2.3 allows administrators to download other plugins from the same vendor directly to the site, but does not check the URL domain it gets the zip files from. This could allow administrators to run code on the server, which is a problem in multisite configurations.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Unknown Directorist – WordPress Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings, upgrade to a fixed version (7.2.3) per the references below.
