Administrator-level stored XSS via unsanitized color settings
Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Astoundify Job Colors for WP Job Manager 1.0.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject web scripts. The plugin stores Job Colors setting values without sufficient input sanitization and emits them into pages without adequate output escaping. Administrator-level access is required, and a visitor must open an affected page; the script then runs in that visitor's browser, with exposure limited to multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled.
