The Workable Api plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the plugin's workable_jobs shortcode does not adequately sanitize or escape user-supplied attributes, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This malicious code executes in the context of users who access the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.4. No patch or official remediation has been documented in the provided data.

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the workable_jobs shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The vulnerability does not impact availability but affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the published date.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Workable Api plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin author regarding patches or official mitigations.
