Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in WP Job Portal (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2025-14467)
Summary
Cross-site scripting in WP Job Portal (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2025-14467). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via WPJOBPORTAL_ALLOWED_TAGS.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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 `` 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.
