Summary
The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 7.2 via the cs_remove_profile_callback() function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete accounts of other users including admins.
