Stored script execution via unsanitized form fields
Published May 2, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Stored cross-site scripting in BestWebSoft Job Board 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to inject scripts through unsanitized form fields. The jbbrd_save_post handler stores submitted job metadata without the HTML escaping added by the 1.0.1 patch, which also sanitizes bwsmn_form_email. Public assessments disagree on whether authentication is required, but exploitation causes injected script to execute when affected content is viewed.
