CVE-2025-68070 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in the VK Google Job Posting Manager plugin developed by Vektor, Inc. This plugin is used to manage and display Google job postings on websites, typically within WordPress environments. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during the generation of web pages, allowing malicious scripts to be stored persistently within the application. When a victim accesses the affected page, the malicious script executes in their browser context, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, unauthorized actions on behalf of the user, or distribution of malware. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.2.21, with no patch currently available or linked. Exploitation does not require authentication, increasing the attack surface. No known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, but the vulnerability's nature makes it attractive for attackers targeting websites that use this plugin for job postings. The lack of a CVSS score necessitates an assessment based on the vulnerability's characteristics, which indicate a high severity due to the stored XSS vector, ease of exploitation, and potential for significant impact on confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to significant security incidents including unauthorized access to user accounts, theft of sensitive information, and damage to organizational reputation. Organizations using the VK Google Job Posting Manager plugin on their websites may inadvertently expose their users to malicious scripts that can hijack sessions or redirect users to phishing or malware sites. This is particularly critical for companies in sectors with high recruitment activity, such as technology, finance, and public services, where job posting platforms are heavily used. The impact extends to loss of trust from job applicants and partners, potential regulatory penalties under GDPR for failing to protect user data, and operational disruptions if the website is defaced or taken offline. The vulnerability's exploitation could also serve as a foothold for further attacks within the organization's network if attackers leverage stolen credentials or session tokens.

1. Monitor for updates from Vektor, Inc. and apply patches immediately once released to address CVE-2025-68070. 2. Until a patch is available, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data related to job postings to prevent script injection. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting stored XSS patterns to detect and block malicious payloads. 4. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews of the plugin and any customizations to identify and remediate unsafe input handling. 5. Educate website administrators and content managers on the risks of injecting untrusted content and the importance of sanitization. 6. Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 7. Monitor website traffic and logs for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. 8. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if it is not critical or replacing it with a more secure alternative until the vulnerability is resolved.
