CVE-2025-15703 Details
Description
The HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not sanitise and escape one of its job specification settings before it is reflected back into an admin-area settings page, allowing users with the HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.0.0's management capability (Administrator by default) to store a payload that is executed in the browser of any administrator who later opens that page. As the unfiltered_html capability is not available to administrators on multisite (or where DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML is set), this leads to Stored Cross-Site Scripting.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the HireZoot WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.0.0. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape a job specification setting before displaying it on an admin-area settings page. This flaw allows users with administrative capabilities to inject a payload that is executed in the browser of any administrator who subsequently accesses that page. On multisite installations, or where DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML is enabled, administrators do not have the unfiltered_html capability, which exacerbates the risk of this vulnerability.
Users are advised to update the HireZoot WordPress plugin to version 4.0.0 or later.
