CVE-2025-15703
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not sanitise and escape one of its job specification settings before it is reflected back into an admin-area settings page, allowing users with the HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0's management capability (Administrator by default) to store a payload that is executed in the browser of any administrator who later opens that page. As the unfiltered_html capability is not available to administrators on multisite (or where DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML is set), this leads to Stored Cross-Site Scripting.

"value": "El plugin de WordPress HireZoot en versiones anteriores a la 4.0.0 no sanitiza ni escapa una de sus configuraciones de especificación de empleo antes de que se refleje en una página de ajustes del área de administración, lo que permite a los usuarios que poseen la capacidad de gestión del plugin de WordPress HireZoot en versiones anteriores a la 4.0.0 (Administrador por defecto) almacenar una carga útil que se ejecuta en el navegador de cualquier administrador que abra esa página posteriormente. Dado que la capacidad unfiltered_html no está disponible para los administradores en entornos multisite (o cuando DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML está configurado), esto conduce a un Cross-site Scripting (XSS) almacenado."
