## Description

The easy.jobs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via candidate resume PDFs in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.4, due to the candidate details screen rendering resumes with a bundled copy of pdf.js 3.11.174, which is affected by CVE-2024-4367, opened with default options (font evaluation enabled). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who apply to a job with a crafted PDF resume to execute arbitrary scripts in an administrator's browser when the administrator views the candidate's resume in wp-admin.
