Summary
The WP Job Portal WordPress plugin, a recruitment and job board system, is affected by a stored cross-site scripting flaw. An attacker with a basic account on the site can insert malicious scripts that run in the browsers of other visitors or administrators who view the affected page, potentially allowing session hijacking or actions taken on the victim's behalf.

Read the original description
The WP Job Portal – AI-Powered Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'degreetitle' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The plugin's self-registration flow allows any visitor to create a Subscriber-backed Employer account, meaning this vulnerability is effectively exploitable by any user who can register on the site.
