Unauthenticated arbitrary email sending via missing authorization
Published Feb 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in WP Job Portal 2.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to send arbitrary email through a WordPress site's mail server. The sendEmailToJobSeeker() function validates only a request nonce, then accepts recipient, subject, sender, and body fields and passes them to the plugin's mail routine without a capability check. No account is required; exploitation causes the affected site to originate attacker-chosen messages but provides no reported direct data access or code execution.
