AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Indeed Job Importer WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.0.5

Description: The issue arises from insufficient input validation and sanitization via several parameters in the indeed-job-importer.php file, allowing attackers with administrative user access to inject arbitrary web scripts. This affects multi-site installations where unfiltered html is disabled for administrators, and sites where unfiltered html is disabled.

Recommendations: For versions up to and including 1.0.5, update to a version later than 1.0.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the indeed-job-importer.php file until a patch is available. Restrict administrative user access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
