CVE-2026-54455 Details
Description
OpenCATS is an open-source applicant tracking system and recruitment CRM for staffing agencies and hiring teams. Prior to version 0.10.0, activity DataGrid date filtering in `home:CallsDataGrid` and `activity:ActivityDataGrid` uses request-controlled `period`, `startDate` and `endDate` parameters without sufficient validation or escaping. The vulnerable code is in `modules/home/dataGrids.php` and `modules/activity/dataGrids.php`. The `startDate` and `endDate` values are inserted into SQL string comparisons without safe escaping, and `period` can directly influence generated SQL. An authenticated user with access to the affected DataGrid endpoints can alter the intended query to access sensitive database contents, including user account data, candidate records, contact details, company information, job orders and activity history. A valid OpenCATS login is required; unauthenticated exploitation is not established. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in OpenCATS, an open-source applicant tracking system, in versions prior to 0.10.0. The issue arises in the 'home:CallsDataGrid' and 'activity:ActivityDataGrid' components, where date filtering parameters ('period', 'startDate', and 'endDate') are used to construct SQL queries without proper validation or escaping. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to manipulate SQL queries and access sensitive database information, including user accounts, candidate records, contact details, company information, job orders, and activity history.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenCATS version 0.10.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. The update ensures that DataGrid date filter parameters are properly validated and safely handled before being included in SQL queries.
