CVE-2024-11713

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.2

Description The issue is related to SQL Injection via the page id parameter of the wpjobportal deactivate() function due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This allows authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.2.2, update to the latest version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wpjobportal deactivate() function until a patch is available. Avoid using the page id parameter in the affected function until the issue is resolved.
