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. The plugin explicitly whitelists the `<script>` tag in its `WPJOBPORTAL_ALLOWED_TAGS` configuration and uses insufficient input sanitization when saving job descriptions. Authenticated attackers with Editor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts into job description fields, which execute when a user accesses the page. This only impacts multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can execute scripts in users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, and other malicious activities.
Recommendation
Update the WP Job Portal plugin to a patched version. Restrict user permissions and enable HTML filtering.

Original NVD description (English 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 `<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.
