Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The MAS Companies For WP Job Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.13

Description The issue arises from the use of add query arg without proper escaping on the URL, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can trick a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.13, update to a version that fixes the issue with add query arg escaping. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
