Summary
The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 via the 'downloadCustomUploadedFile' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
