 "title": "JobBoardWP <= 1.3.6 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via Job Description",
 "description": "The JobBoardWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via the job description field of the front-end job submission form in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This is due to the submitted description being stored without removing shortcodes and later rendered with do_shortcode(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, since guest job posting is allowed by default, to execute arbitrary shortcodes whenever the job is viewed, including by an administrator reviewing the pending job.",
