- CVE-2026-16281, 4 Sep 2026
- The Classified Listing WordPress plugin before 6.1.1 does not verify that the caller owns or can edit the target listing before its AI image-editing AJAX action deletes or attaches media, allowing any authenticated user, including a subscriber, to permanently delete attachments from, and attach files to, any listing owned by another user. CVE record
- CVE-2026-16274, 3 Aug 2026
- The Classified Listing WordPress plugin before 5.4.4 does not perform a capability or ownership check on an AJAX action that returns a post's content, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to read the content of any post, page, or custom post type on the site - including drafts, pending, and private posts owned by other users - regardless of ownership. CVE record
- CVE-2026-16276, 3 Aug 2026
- The Classified Listing WordPress plugin before 5.4.4 does not perform a capability check on an AJAX action that returns aggregated store revenue totals, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to read daily revenue figures normally restricted to administrators and report managers. CVE record
- CVE-2026-14183, 21 Jul 2026
- The Classified Listing WordPress plugin before 5.3.9 does not verify that the order targeted by its payment-receipt handler belongs to the requesting user, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access to read the payment receipt details of any other user's order. CVE record
- CVE-2026-10779, 19 Jun 2026
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.2. This is due to a missing capability/ownership check on the gallery_image_update_as_feature AJAX handler (action: rtcl_fb_gallery_image_update_as_feature), which accepts a user-supplied listing ID and attachment ID and sets the featured image of a listing while only validating a nonce that is exposed to any logged-in user on the frontend listing-submission form. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change the featured image of arbitrary listings they do not own. CVE record
- CVE-2026-7563, 15 May 2026
- The Classified Listing - AI-Powered Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.10. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to add arbitrary notes to any order and trigger unsolicited notification and moderation emails to listing owners without administrative authorization. CVE record
- CVE-2025-7711, 17 Nov 2025
- The The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes. CVE record
- CVE-2025-12953, 11 Nov 2025
- The Classified Listing - AI-Powered Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the "rtcl_ajax_add_listing_type", "rtcl_ajax_update_listing_type", and "rtcl_ajax_delete_listing_type" function in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to add, update, or delete listing types. CVE record
- CVE-2025-1063, 25 Feb 2025
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.4 via the rtcl_taxonomy_settings_export function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including API keys and tokens. CVE record
- CVE-2024-11194, 19 Nov 2024
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a misconfigured check on the 'rtcl_import_settings' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.15.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update limited arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the Subscriber role with Administrator-level capabilities to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site. The vulnerability is limited in that the option updated must have a value that is an array. CVE record
- CVE-2024-7888, 13 Sep 2024

- CVE-2024-3893, 25 Apr 2024
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the rtcl_fb_gallery_image_delete AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.10.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary attachements. CVE record
- CVE-2024-1315, 9 Apr 2024
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'rtcl_update_user_account' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the administrator user's password and email address via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This locks the administrator out of the site and prevents them from resetting their password, while granting the attacker access to their account. CVE record
- CVE-2024-1352, 9 Apr 2024
- The Classified Listing - Classified ads & Business Directory Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access & modification of data due to a missing capability check on the rtcl_import_location() rtcl_import_category() functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.4.
