CVE-2022-2544Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Resume disclosure via unprotected upload directory

Published Aug 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Directory listing in WPManageNinja Ninja Job Board before 1.3.3 allows remote attackers to download uploaded resumes without authentication. The FileHandler resume-upload path stores files in a web-accessible directory without adding a directory index guard, allowing directory requests to enumerate stored filenames. Remote attackers who can reach the WordPress site can list and retrieve applicants’ resume files, exposing only content placed in that upload directory.
