Description
The Jobify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘keyword’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Jobify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw through the unchecked ‘keyword’ request parameter. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping allow an authenticated user with Contributor privileges or higher to embed malicious scripts that will run whenever a user views the affected page.

Affected Systems

WordPress plugin Jobify, version 1.4.4 and earlier, developed by bmarshall511.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.4 and an EPSS score of less than 1% – indicating a moderate severity but low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability requires authentication and only users with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit it, limiting the attack surface yet still enabling potentially widespread client‑side damage if an attacker gains or leverages such privileges. The plugin is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no publicly known exploitation, but the impact to end users remains significant should the flaw be abused.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Jobify to a version newer than 1.4.4 when it becomes available
  • Remove any pages or posts that may have stored malicious scripts injected via the keyword parameter
  • Implement input validation and output escaping (e.g., use WordPress esc_html/esc_url functions) to prevent future script injection
