FKIE_CVE-2025-14467

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-12-12 04:15 - Updated: 2026-10-07 20:10
Summary
The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.4. This is due to the plugin explicitly whitelisting the `<script>` tag in its `WPJOBPORTAL_ALLOWED_TAGS` configuration and using insufficient input sanitization when saving job descriptions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts into job description fields via the job creation/editing interface. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, and other malicious activities.This only impacts multi-site installations, or those with unfiltered_html disabled.

      "value": "El plugin WP Job Portal para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado en todas las versiones hasta la 2.3.9, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin incluye expl\u00edcitamente en su lista blanca la etiqueta \u0027\u003cscript\u003e\u0027 en su configuraci\u00f3n \u0027WPJOBPORTAL_ALLOWED_TAGS\u0027 y utiliza una sanitizaci\u00f3n de entrada insuficiente al guardar las descripciones de los puestos de trabajo. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Editor o superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en los campos de descripci\u00f3n de los puestos de trabajo a trav\u00e9s de la interfaz de creaci\u00f3n/edici\u00f3n de puestos de trabajo. Estos scripts se ejecutar\u00e1n cada vez que un usuario acceda a una p\u00e1gina inyectada, lo que permite el secuestro de sesi\u00f3n, el robo de credenciales y otras actividades maliciosas. Esto solo afecta a instalaciones multisitio o a aquellas con \u0027unfiltered_html\u0027 deshabilitado."
