Account takeover and data tampering via CSRF
Published May 11, 2026 · Updated May 11, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in HireFlow 1.2 allows remote attackers to change passwords, delete candidates, or submit data. The /profile, /candidates/delete/, /feedback/add/, and /interviews/add POST handlers accept state changes without CSRF-token validation, while the session cookie lacks an explicit SameSite setting. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to visit an attacker-controlled page and can take over the account, delete records, or create feedback and interview entries.
