Readycheck to confirm it

The JobWP - Job Board, Job Listing, Career Page and Recruitment Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'jobwp_upload_resume' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to data exfiltration, privilege escalation, or other malicious activities.

Fix

Update the JobWP Plugin to version later than 2.3.9. Alternatively, implement proper input validation and sanitization controls.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /jobs/{{jobid}}/
Send: @timeout: 30s
Positive when: duration>=7 and status_code == 200 and contains_all(body, 'jobwp-', 'apply-')
