Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Job Board by BestWebSoft plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to the plugin storing the entire unsanitized `$_GET` superglobal array directly into the database via `update_user_meta()` when users save search results, and later outputting this data without proper escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses the saved search or views their profile, granted they can trick the user into performing the search and saving the results.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Job Board by BestWebSoft WordPress plugin up to version 1.2.1. It occurs because the plugin stores the entire unsanitized $_GET superglobal array directly into the database when users save search results, without proper sanitization. Later, this data is output without proper escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when a user accesses the saved search or their profile, if the attacker tricks the user into saving the malicious search.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website for users who view the saved search results or profiles. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of the user, potentially compromising user data and site integrity.
