Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit and restrict permissions related to the AdminController.AjaxSave() method within PPGo_Jobs to ensure only authorized administrators can perform account modifications. Implement strict role-based access control (RBAC) and verify that authenticated users cannot escalate privileges or modify other users' data without proper authorization. Monitor logs for unusual account modification activities and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of credential compromise. If possible, isolate the PPGo_Jobs administrative interface behind VPNs or IP whitelisting to limit exposure. Stay alert for official patches or updates from the PPGo_Jobs vendor and apply them promptly once available. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on access control mechanisms. Additionally, educate users and administrators about the risks of credential sharing and phishing attacks that could lead to unauthorized authentication.

Description

Insecure permissions in the AdminController.AjaxSave() method of PPGo_Jobs v2.8.0 allows authenticated attackers to arbitrarily modify users' account information.

Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to modify user account information arbitrarily, which can lead to several adverse outcomes. Confidentiality is compromised as attackers may access or alter sensitive user data. Integrity is affected since unauthorized changes to account details can undermine trust and system correctness. Availability may also be impacted if attackers disrupt user accounts or administrative functions. Organizations relying on PPGo_Jobs for job or recruitment management could face account takeovers, privilege escalation, or data manipulation, potentially leading to operational disruptions, reputational damage, and compliance violations. Since exploitation requires authentication, insider threats or compromised user credentials pose significant risks. The absence of known exploits currently reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks, especially as attackers often target known vulnerabilities in widely used platforms.

CWE-277Insecure Inherited Permissions (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
A product defines a set of insecure permissions that are inherited by objects that are created by the program.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
