Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jobs for WordPress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.5

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the job-search parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.7.5, update to a version later than 2.7.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the job-search parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the job-search parameter in affected pages until the issue is resolved.
