Published: Sat Dec 14 2024 (12/14/2024, 06:45:15 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: wpjobportal
Product: WP Job Portal – AI-Powered Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website

Description

The WP Job Portal – A Complete Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'ff' parameter of the getFieldsForVisibleCombobox() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Technical Analysis

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 2.2.2, contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the getFieldsForVisibleCombobox() function. The vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper preparation of the 'ff' parameter, which is user-supplied. Authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access can append malicious SQL commands to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive database information. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.9 (medium severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high privileges required. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, enabling unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality. Since exploitation requires high privileges, the risk is limited to trusted users who have elevated access.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database query activity related to the 'ff' parameter. Avoid using vulnerable plugin versions in production environments.
