AI Analysis

Impact

The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an insecure direct object reference because the cs_remove_profile_callback() function does not validate a user-controlled key. This flaw permits authenticated users with Subscriber level or higher to delete any other user’s account, including administrators, thus tampering with legitimate user data and potentially disabling critical application functionality.

Affected Systems

WordPress users running the WP JobHunt plugin at version 7.2 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists in all releases up to and including 7.2 and is specific to the WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates a high severity impact. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests a very low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires an authenticated session, as the flaw is triggered through the cs_remove_profile_callback endpoint exposed to users with Subscriber or higher privileges. An attacker who can craft a request with the vulnerable key can delete target accounts without additional privileged access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP JobHunt to version 7.3 or later, which contains the fix for the direct object reference bug
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or remove the cs_remove_profile_callback functionality to prevent account deletion by non-admin roles
  • Implement role-based access control or additional input validation on the deletion endpoint to block Subscriber and lower-level users from executing the command
