Technical details

HireFlow v1.2 is vulnerable to SQL injection within the login() and search() functions in app.py. The application fails to parameterize user-supplied input, instead concatenating it directly into SQL queries. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the /login endpoint using a crafted username (e.g., admin'--) to bypass authentication checks. Additionally, the /search endpoint is vulnerable to UNION-based SQL injection via the 'q' parameter, enabling the extraction of sensitive data including user credentials and candidate information. The vulnerability is addressed in version 1.3.
