Description
The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the geodirectory_rated() function in versions up to, and including, 2.3.70. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to set the 'geodirectory_admin_footer_text_rated' option value to true.
