CVE-2024-7351: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in presstigers Simple Job Board
The Simple Job Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.12.3 via deserialization of untrusted input when editing job applications. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-7351 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Simple Job Board plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.12.3. The flaw allows authenticated users with Editor or higher privileges to inject PHP objects during job application edits. The plugin does not include a known POP chain internally, but if other installed plugins or themes provide one, this could enable an attacker to perform critical actions such as deleting files, accessing sensitive information, or executing arbitrary code. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Editor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject PHP objects via deserialization. Without a POP chain in the plugin itself, direct exploitation is limited; however, if other plugins or themes installed on the target system provide a suitable POP chain, the attacker could delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code, leading to full compromise of the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. In the meantime, restrict Editor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of the Simple Job Board plugin until a fix is released. Review installed plugins and themes for potential POP chains that could be leveraged in combination with this vulnerability.
