Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Job Manager – Company Profiles versions up to and including 1.7

Description The issue is related to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages through the company parameter. This enables attackers to execute scripts if they can trick a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 1.7, update to a version later than 1.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the company parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
