CVE-2026-38566

8.1 · HIGH

HireFlow v1.2 does not implement CSRF token validation on any state-changing POST endpoint.

Published May 11, 2026CWE-352EPSS 0.23%

Overview

CVE-2026-38566 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 11, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

HireFlow v1.2 does not implement CSRF token validation on any state-changing POST endpoint. All forms (password change at /profile, candidate deletion at /candidates/delete/<id>, feedback submission at /feedback/add/<id>, interview scheduling at /interviews/add) are vulnerable to CSRF. An attacker who can trick an authenticated user into visiting a malicious page can silently change the victim's password, delete records, or inject arbitrary data on their behalf. The SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE attribute is also not configured, removing the browser-level CSRF defense.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
