Vulnerability Overview
The Upload Resume plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Disclosure via the 'resume_upload_form_list' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or above to view the contents of all resumes uploaded to the site.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Upload Resume <= 1.2.0 carries this weakness at resume_upload_form_list, and reaching it takes any authenticated account. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Upload Resume yet, so installs running <= 1.2.0 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
