Description
The JS Job Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via the company deletion functionality in all versions up to, but not including, 2.0.3. The delete handlers relied on is_admin(), which admin-ajax.php also satisfies, instead of a capability check, and the company identifier was used in database queries and file deletion paths without being validated as a number. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete companies and arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
