## Summary

An administrator, such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, can exploit this flaw to run arbitrary code on the server, and that code can then be triggered by any unauthenticated visitor.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Unknown GeoDirectory: fixed in 2.8.194

## Description

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.194 does not properly escape administrator-defined text before writing it into a generated PHP file in its own folder, allowing high privilege users such as a subsite administrator on a multisite network, who cannot otherwise run code, to achieve Remote Code Execution that any unauthenticated visitor can trigger.
