Vulnerability Overview

The WP Job Board Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to 2.3.16. This is due to the plugin allowing a user to supply the 'role' field when registering. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrator on vulnerable sites. Please note that this may have been patched sooner, however, the oldest available version for us to confirm this is patched in was 1.2.85.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.85, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment) A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
