CVE-2024-11925: WP JobSearch <= 2.6.7 - Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover and Privilege Escalation

First published: Thu Nov 28 2024(Updated: )

The JobSearch WP Job Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a users identity when verifying an email address through the user_account_activation function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including site administrators if the users email is known.
