WP JobHunt <= 7.7 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Candidate+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'status'

Published Dec 20, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress, used by the JobCareer theme, is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'cs_update_application_status_callback' function in all versions up to, and including, 7.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Candidate-level access and above, to inject cross-site scripting into the 'status' parameter of applied jobs for any user.
