CVE-2025-7781
MediumCVSS 6.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs
Summary
The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress, used by the JobCareer theme, is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'cs_job_title' parameter in all versions up to and including 7.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Candidate-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could execute malicious JavaScript in the browsers of users visiting the site, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or other actions on behalf of the victim. However, this requires authentication with a specific privilege level.
Recommendation
Update the WP JobHunt plugin to a version later than 7.6 that contains the fix. Until then, restrict access to functionality related to the 'cs_job_title' parameter or implement additional input filtering.
