Employer email disclosure via unchecked job ownership
Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026
IDOR in WP Job Portal before 2.5.5 allows remote authenticated users to read employers' private email addresses through crafted job IDs. The getEmailFields AJAX task trusts the supplied jobid without verifying job ownership and falls back to the owning employer's account email when the company contact email is empty. Exploitation requires a self-registered Employer account, a session-bound nonce, and a victim job with no company contact email; enumerating job IDs exposes addresses only.
