CVE-2025-7782Network attack vector

Stored cross-site scripting via unchecked status update

Published Dec 20, 2025 · Updated Dec 20, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in Chimpstudio WP JobHunt 7.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject script into job statuses. The cs_update_application_status_callback function omits a capability check and writes attacker-controlled status values to applied-job records for any user. Candidate-level access is sufficient, and the stored script content persists in applied-job records belonging to other users.
