Database compromise via crafted request parameters
Published Jul 15, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026
SQL injection in MetaGuru HCM 7 before 7.5.3 and HCM 8 before 8.1.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to alter database data. The published advisory states that specific request parameters accept injected SQL commands, but it does not identify the parameters, endpoint, query construction, or missing validation operation. A valid application account is required, and successful exploitation permits reading or changing database data and interrupting database-backed service.
