Description
The JobBoardWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'no-jobs-text' and 'no-jobs-search-text' attributes of the [jb_jobs] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6 due to insufficient input sanitization of these attributes and the jobs list script inserting their values into the page with jQuery .html(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page and the jobs list shows its empty-results message.
