Description
The Job Manager and Career – Manage job board listings, and recruitments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_plugin_settings() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugins settings and perform deserialization that can be leveraged for RCE via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
