The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads WordPress plugin before 8.11.1 does not prevent a listing's own author from changing its status from pending to published, allowing users with a Subscriber-level account and above to bypass the administrator's listing moderation and publish their own pending listings.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
