CVE-2026-38568
High 8.1
In plain English
A high-severity authorization bypass via user-controlled key in the affected software. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 14% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
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.
