Description
The WP Job Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the [jobs] shortcode in versions 1.27.0 up to, and including, 2.4.7. The shortcode honoured any requested 'post_status' attribute value without checking the viewer's capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to place the shortcode in a draft post and preview it, listing other users' non-public job listings, such as drafts, pending, private and unpaid submissions, with their titles, company names, logos, locations and job types.
