AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference that allows an attacker to bypass the intended authorization controls by providing a user‑controlled key in API requests. This permits reading and potentially modifying job listings or details that the user should not have access to, leading to data exposure and corruption.

Affected Systems

The issue affects the JobBoard Job listing WordPress plugin from themeglow, for all releases through version 1.2.8, inclusive. No specific sub‑versions are listed but any installation running 1.2.8 or earlier is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.9 indicates moderate risk, and the EPSS score of <1% reflects a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack vectors are most likely through crafted HTTP requests to the plugin’s endpoints, using a manipulated identifier to target unprivileged data. Because the issue stems from incorrectly configured access‑control levels, many authenticated users could unintentionally gain unauthorized access if they manipulate the key.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the JobBoard Job listing plugin to a version newer than 1.2.8 or apply the vendor’s official patch if available.
  • Ensure that only authorized user roles can request job‑listing data, removing public access to any endpoints that expose job information.
  • Monitor web server logs for anomalous requests that include manipulated identifiers and enforce rate limiting or blocking as needed.
