Description
The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the resume save task (saveresume) in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.2, due to missing validation that a submitted resume section row ID (address, education, employer, reference, language) belongs to the resume being saved. storeResumeSection() binds the posted row ID and updates that row, and removeResumeSection() deletes the row by ID alone. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, such as job seekers, to delete other candidates' resume section entries, or overwrite them and move them into their own resume, where their contents become readable.
