Description
The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'parse_query' function in all versions up to, and including, 8.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the post_status of any post to 'publish'.
