What is CVE-2018-19487?

The WP-jobhunt plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.4 is vulnerable due to insufficient controls on AJAX requests directed at the cs_employer_ajax_profile() function via admin-ajax.php. This oversight permits unauthorized, remote attackers to potentially enumerate sensitive user information, posing a significant security risk to sites utilizing this plugin.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
