WP JobHunt <= 7.6 Authenticated (Custom+) Authorization Bypass
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress, used by the JobCareer theme, is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.6. This is due to insufficient login restrictions on inactive and pending accounts. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Candidate- and Employer-level access and above, to log in to the site even if their account is inactive or pending.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 7.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
