## Description

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data via the getUserRoleBasedInfo AJAX task in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.1, due to a missing capability check. The handler only verified the 'wpjobportal_user_nonce' nonce, which is also printed on the front-end profile form shown to every logged-in portal user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve other users' company names, resume titles or resume holders' names by changing the 'uid' parameter.
