Descriptions

The WP Job Portal WordPress plugin before 2.0.6 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by unauthenticated users

El complemento WP Job Portal de WordPress anterior a 2.0.6 no sanitiza ni escapa un parámetro antes de usarlo en una declaración SQL, lo que genera una inyección de SQL explotable por usuarios no autenticados.

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'city' parameter when conducting job searches in versions up to, and including, 2.0.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
