CVE-2024-10880: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ultimatemember JobBoardWP – Job Board Listings and Submissions
The JobBoardWP – Job Board Listings and Submissions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg & remove_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The JobBoardWP plugin for WordPress suffers from a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in URL query parameters handled by add_query_arg and remove_query_arg functions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to craft URLs that inject malicious scripts, which execute when a user interacts with the link. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.3.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1 (medium severity), with attack vector network, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity. No patch or remediation details are currently available, and no exploits are known in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing attackers to steal user data or perform actions on behalf of users. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no reported effect on availability. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a crafted link), the risk depends on user behavior.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution with links received from untrusted sources. Monitoring vendor channels for updates or patches is recommended. No official fix or temporary workaround is documented in the provided data.
