| Description | The VK Google Job Posting Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Job Description field in versions up to, and including, 1.2.23 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with author-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. |
