CVE-2026-38568 Details
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.
A vulnerability in HireFlow version 1.2 allows for incorrect access control on the '/candidate/<id>' and '/interview/<id>' endpoints. The application fails to enforce object-level authorization, enabling any authenticated user to access other users' candidate profiles and interview notes by manipulating the ID in the URL. This issue results in horizontal privilege escalation and a complete data breach of all records within the system.
The vulnerability has been patched in HireFlow version 1.3. Users should update to this version.
