CVE-2026-38568: n/a
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in HireFlow v1.2 involves improper access control on the /candidate/<id> and /interview/<id> endpoints. The application retrieves records based solely on user-supplied IDs without verifying ownership or authorization. Consequently, any authenticated user can enumerate and access data belonging to other users by iterating integer IDs in the URL path, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive candidate and interview information.
Potential Impact
This vulnerability allows any authenticated user to access all candidate profiles and interview notes in the system, resulting in a complete breach of confidentiality for all stored records. There is a risk of horizontal privilege escalation, exposing sensitive personal and interview data across users.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected endpoints through additional access control mechanisms such as web application firewalls or custom authorization checks. Avoid exposing these endpoints to untrusted users and monitor for unusual access patterns.
