CVE-2025-15703
WP Job Openings < 4.0.0 - Admin+ Stored XSS
Description
The HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not sanitise and escape one of its job specification settings before it is reflected back into an admin-area settings page, allowing users with the HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0's management capability (Administrator by default) to store a payload that is executed in the browser of any administrator who later opens that page. As the unfiltered_html capability is not available to administrators on multisite (or where DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML is set), this leads to Stored Cross-Site Scripting.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: HireZoot, Description: El plugin de WordPress HireZoot en versiones anteriores a la 4.0.0 no sanitiza ni escapa una de sus configuraciones de especificación de empleo antes de que se refleje en una página de ajustes del área de administración, lo que permite a los usuarios que poseen la capacidad de gestión del plugin de WordPress HireZoot en versiones anteriores a la 4.0.0 (Administrador por defecto) almacenar una carga útil que se ejecuta en el navegador de cualquier administrador que abra esa página posteriormente. Dado que la capacidad unfiltered_html no está disponible para los administradores en entornos multisite (o cuando DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML está configurado), esto conduce a un Cross-site Scripting (XSS) almacenado. -
