Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The WP Job Portal – A Complete Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the assignUserRole() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to that of an employer.
