Description

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via crafted field names in the profile and resume forms in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.0 due to request keys being used as database column names when records are updated, including a 'columns' key that could replace the entire column map, without validating the identifiers. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with job seeker or employer (subscriber-level) access and above, to inject arbitrary SQL into update queries and extract sensitive information from the database.
