The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads WordPress plugin before 8.11 does not check that the acting user may edit each targeted user when handling an email-verification bulk action on multisite, allowing an Administrator of one site on the network to lock out users of other sites, including the network Super Administrator, until they re-verify their email.

Impact

Confidentiality: no direct data leak. Integrity: users cannot log in. Availability: targeted users locked out. Impacted: administrators on multisite networks, super admins, site owners.

Remediation

Update the Directorist plugin to version 8.11 or later. If immediate update is not possible, disable the bulk email verification feature or restrict it to users with edit permissions. Verify that role checks are enforced before performing bulk actions.

Medium severity CVE with no EPSS data. The vulnerability is relevant for multisite administrators and should be addressed promptly to prevent user lockout.
