CVE-2024-13372: WP Job Portal <= 2.2.6 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Resume Download

The WP Job Portal – A Complete Recruitment System for Company or Job Board website plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.6 via the getresumefiledownloadbyid() and getallresumefiles() functions due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download users resumes without the appropriate authorization to do so.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw can let unauthenticated visitors download resumes stored by vulnerable WP Job Portal sites. The business risk is exposure of applicant personal data, not system takeover. It is rated medium, but privacy impact can be material for recruitment sites.

Executive priority

Treat as a prompt privacy-risk remediation for any recruitment site using this plugin. Prioritize affected public sites because applicant resumes may contain sensitive personal and employment information.

Technical view

CVE-2024-13372 is a CWE-639 insecure direct object reference in WP Job Portal through 2.2.6. Missing validation on a user-controlled key in resume download functions can permit unauthorized resume file downloads. CVSS is 5.3: network reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, confidentiality-only impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running WP Job Portal versions up to and including 2.2.6, especially sites accepting or storing applicant resumes.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The vulnerability is still practical because it is unauthenticated, network reachable, and requires no user interaction.

Researcher notes

The source bundle identifies affected functions getresumefiledownloadbyid() and getallresumefiles(). Evidence supports an authorization bypass/IDOR, but the bundle does not include exploit traffic, weaponized proof, or a KEV signal.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade WP Job Portal beyond 2.2.6, using vendor guidance and the referenced 2.2.7 change as baseline.
  • Temporarily disable resume download functionality if immediate upgrade is not possible.
  • Restrict public access to stored resume files where operationally feasible.
  • Review application logs for unusual unauthenticated resume download activity.
  • Confirm resume storage and access controls match business privacy requirements.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites for WP Job Portal and record installed versions.
  • Confirm no production site runs WP Job Portal 2.2.6 or older.
  • Review logs for repeated resume download requests from unauthenticated sessions.
  • Verify updated sites enforce authorization before serving resume files.
  • Check whether exposed resume data requires internal incident review.
