The plugin\u2019s registration handler reads the client-supplied $_POST['user_role'] and passes it directly to wp_insert_user() without restricting to a safe set of roles.  This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.\n\ud83d\udccf Published: 2025-05-03T01:43:06.908Z\n\ud83d\udccf Modified: 2025-05-06T15:03:50.627Z\n\ud83d\udd17 References:\n1. https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/c9cd43f5-c3d0-4eb2-9c18-1af2edca37ff?source=cve\n2. https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/job-listings/trunk/includes/forms/class-jlt-form-member.php#L68\n3. https://wordpress.org/plugins/job-listings/#developers", "creation_timestamp": "2025-05-06T15:21:34.000000Z"}
