Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Starbox plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.4.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the Job Settings user profile fields. This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For Starbox plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.4.8, update to a version later than 3.4.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Job Settings user profile fields to minimize the risk of exploitation.
