WP JobSearch <= 2.3.3 - Authentication Bypass

Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
CVE CVE-2023-6584
CVSS Critical (9.8)
Publicly Published November 24, 2023
Last Updated March 22, 2024
Researcher Marc-Alexandre Montpas
Description

The JobSearch WP Job Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a users identity through the jobsearch_facebook_get_soc_login_url action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, as long as they have access to the email address.
