AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles and permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious file deletion activity related to the WP Job Portal plugin. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users.
Description
The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'WPJOBPORTALcustomfields::removeFileCustom' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
