What the vulnerability does
The Jobify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘keyword’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Jobify versions up to 1.4.4 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component. An attacker with low-level account access can craft input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially compromising their sessions or data.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers to steal session data or perform actions on their behalf.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts affecting other users' sessions and data; scope extends beyond the vulnerable component.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account on the site; no user interaction required from the victim.
