CVE-2025-1310: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in blueglassch Job Postings
The Jobs for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.11 via the 'job_postings_get_file' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Jobs for WordPress plugin (blueglassch Job Postings) contains a CWE-22 directory traversal vulnerability in versions up to 2.7.11. An authenticated attacker with at least Subscriber privileges can manipulate the 'job_postings_get_file' parameter to access files outside the intended directory scope. This improper limitation of pathname allows reading arbitrary files on the server, potentially exposing sensitive data. The vulnerability is network exploitable without user interaction and does not affect integrity or availability, only confidentiality.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to read arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information stored on the server, impacting confidentiality. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported as of the published date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access where possible and consider additional access controls to limit exposure.
