# Directorist WordPress plugin lets any logged-in user feature others' listings

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118529 (this .md is for agents)

The Directorist WordPress plugin before 8.11 does not check that a user owns a listing before processing its featured-listing checkout. Any logged-in user, including a subscriber, can publish and feature another user's pending listing when the featured listing fee is set to zero.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Look at the installed Directorist plugin version in the WordPress admin Plugins page; it is affected below `8.11`.
- Check whether the featured listing fee is set to zero in the Directorist settings.

## Fix

- Directorist: move to `8.11` or later
