Description
The WP Job Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via the company X / Twitter username field of the frontend job submission form, and via the salary, salary currency and salary unit fields where the salary option is enabled, in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.10. This is due to the plugin printing these fields with their square brackets intact in the single job listing template, which is rendered inside the_content before shortcodes are expanded. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, where guest job submission is enabled, to execute arbitrary shortcodes when the listing is displayed.
