What the vulnerability does
The Workable Api plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's workable_jobs shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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
The Workable API contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to 1.0.4. An attacker with low-level access can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the broader application scope, not just the vulnerable component.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers and steal their session data or perform actions as them.
Potential impact on your site
Users' accounts and data are at risk if an attacker with basic access injects malicious code affecting other users.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker needs a low-privilege account on the system; no user interaction required from the victim.
