How the Exploit Works

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. Due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query, unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries into already existing queries. This can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:

POST /wp-content/plugins/jobwp-upload-resume HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "jobwp_upload_resume": "'; SELECT * FROM wp_users --" }

In this example, the attacker uses the ‘jobwp_upload_resume’ parameter to append a new SQL command (`SELECT * FROM wp_users`) to the original query, potentially allowing them to retrieve all user data from the database.
