MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Required conditions: a WordPress site running the eyecix JobSearch (wp-jobsearch) plugin at version 3.2.7 or earlier with the vulnerable endpoint reachable over HTTP/HTTPS - the CVSS vector PR:N and UI:N confirm no authentication and no user interaction are needed, and AC:L confirms no special timing, race, or environmental condition is required. Limiting factors are narrow: the site must actually have the JobSearch plugin installed and active (a niche commercial plugin, not bundled with WordPress core), and the targeted instance must expose the affected endpoint over the network rather than behind authentication-required reverse proxies or IP allow-lists. No specific deployment mode or non-default configuration is implied by the description. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and important to disentangle. CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:N/A:N signals trivial remote, unauthenticated exploitation impacting only confidentiality - consistent with mass scrape of protected data rather than takeover. The vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS data was not provided so probability of exploitation cannot be quantified. Patchstack's tagging as 'Authentication Bypass' and the Broken Access Control framing strongly imply automatable enumeration against any internet-exposed WordPress site running the plugin, which raises real-world urgency despite the absence of an integrity/availability impact. The single reference is the Patchstack advisory itself - there is no NVD enrichment, vendor advisory, or independent confirmation of the exact affected endpoint, so the precise data exposed is not corroborated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker scans the internet for WordPress sites running wp-jobsearch ≤3.2.7 (fingerprintable via plugin assets and readme.txt), then issues unauthenticated HTTP requests to the vulnerable AJAX or REST endpoint to retrieve data the plugin should restrict to logged-in employers or admins, such as applicant records, contact details, or private listing metadata. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, the request is a simple one-shot call with no chaining required, making the operation easily scriptable against many sites. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug class is straightforward to weaponize once the specific endpoint is disclosed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the eyecix JobSearch (wp-jobsearch) WordPress plugin versions up to and including 3.2.7 allows remote attackers to bypass access controls and read sensitive data without authentication. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial remote exploitation with no preconditions, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing is present. Patchstack categorized the issue as a Broken Access Control / Authentication Bypass affecting confidentiality only.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-jobsearch/vulnerability/wordpress-jobsearch-plugin-3-2-7-broken-access-control-vulnerability should be consulted for any subsequently published fixed release, and administrators should upgrade to the first JobSearch version above 3.2.7 once published by eyecix. Until a patched version is available, compensating controls include deactivating the wp-jobsearch plugin on production sites (trade-off: job board functionality is lost), or placing the affected AJAX/REST endpoints (typically /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with jobsearch_* actions and /wp-json/ JobSearch routes) behind a WAF rule that requires an authenticated WordPress session cookie (trade-off: may break legitimate anonymous browsing of public listings). IP allow-listing of /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php is generally not viable because legitimate front-end visitors call it, so prefer per-action rules at the WAF layer. Subscribing to Patchstack's vPatch service is a direct mitigation given they reported the issue.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the WordPress plugin marketed as JobSearch by eyecix technologies (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:eyecix_technologies:jobsearch), a commercial job board plugin used to publish listings, accept applications, and expose candidate/employer dashboards. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning one or more plugin endpoints (likely AJAX actions, REST routes, or admin-ajax handlers) execute privileged data-read operations without verifying the caller's capability via current_user_can() or a comparable nonce/permission check. In WordPress plugins this class of bug commonly arises when wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks are registered to handlers that assume authentication or when REST API permission_callback returns true unconditionally.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in JobSearch <= 3.2.7 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The eyecix JobSearch WordPress plugin (versions ≤3.2.7) contains an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability enabling remote attackers to bypass access controls and read sensitive data with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Organizations running this plugin face immediate data exposure risk with no vendor-released patch currently available, making urgent remediation essential.
Deactivate the wp-jobsearch plugin if operationally feasible. Interim mitigations if plugin required: restrict plugin access via Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, implement IP-based allowlisting for authorized users, enable comprehensive logging and monitoring of all plugin activity, and regularly audit user access logs for suspicious data access patterns.
