Technical details
The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the HrmCareerApplyPerView.jsp endpoint, where the unsanitized id GET parameter is passed directly into SQL queries. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject UNION-based SQL payloads through this parameter to query the Microsoft SQL Server backend and retrieve arbitrary data. No authentication is required; attackers can exploit this by crafting a single HTTP GET request with malicious SQL syntax embedded in the id parameter. The vulnerability allows confidentiality breach through unauthorized database access. Patches are available in software versions 10.53 or later.
