Vulnerability Overview

The JobSearch WP Job Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a users identity through the jobsearch_facebook_get_soc_login_url action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, as long as they have access to the email address.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.3.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
