CVE-2026-38568
HighSummary
HireFlow v1.2 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The application does not enforce object-level authorization on the /candidate/<id> and /interview/<id> endpoints, allowing access to other users' data.
Risk Assessment
Any authenticated user can access other users' candidate profiles and interview notes, leading to privilege escalation and a full data breach within the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to implement proper object-level authorization mechanisms for all endpoints to ensure that only authorized users can access the data.
Other vulnerabilities in HireFlow v1.2
See all- CVE-2026-38566High
HireFlow v1.2 does not implement CSRF token validation on any state-changing POST endpoint. All forms are vulnerable to CSRF, allowing an attacker to change the victim's password, delete records, or inject arbitrary data.
- CVE-2026-45336Critical
HireFlow versions 1.2 and earlier use a hard-coded Flask secret_key for signing session cookies. Knowing this publicly available value, an unauthenticated attacker can forge cookies with role=admin and arbitrary user_id, bypassing authentication.
- CVE-2026-38567Critical
HireFlow v1.2 is vulnerable to SQL injection in the /login and /search endpoints. User-supplied input is concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterization.
Original NVD description (English source)
HireFlow v1.2 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The application does not enforce object-level authorization on the /candidate/<id> and /interview/<id> endpoints. The route handlers retrieve records by the user-supplied ID without verifying that the requesting user is the owner or has an authorized role. Any authenticated user can access any other user's candidate profiles and interview notes by iterating the integer ID in the URL path, constituting a horizontal privilege escalation and full data breach of all records in the system.
