Job Board by BestWebSoft <= 1.2.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via $_GET Array Storage

Published Nov 25, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Job Board by BestWebSoft plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to the plugin storing the entire unsanitized `$_GET` superglobal array directly into the database via `update_user_meta()` when users save search results, and later outputting this data without proper escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses the saved search or views their profile, granted they can trick the user into performing the search and saving the results.
