Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown GeoDirectory. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The GeoDirectory WordPress plugin before 2.8.196 does not properly escape a post badge shortcode attribute for a JavaScript context before placing it in an inline event handler, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against anyone who clicks the badge, including administrators.
