Description
The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'resumeid' parameter of the applicant e-mail form in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.0 due to the value being placed unquoted inside an onclick JavaScript expression with only esc_js applied, and the handler lacking nonce and job ownership checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can trick a signed-in user into following a crafted link and pressing the Send button.
