CVE-2026-45336
HireFlow is a web-based interview management system for managing candidates, scheduling interviews, and tracking hiring progress. In 1.2 and earlier, app.py assigns a hard-coded Flask secret_key used to sign session cookies, allowing unauthenticated attackers who know the public source value to forge cookies containing role=admin and user_id values and bypass authentication. The advisory lists version 1.3 as fixed.
View on NVDAnalysis
HireFlow en versiones 1.2 y anteriores utiliza una secret_key de Flask predefinida en su código fuente, lo que permite a atacantes remotos falsificar cookies de sesión con privilegios de administrador. Esta vulnerabilidad crítica de CVSS 10.0 permite saltarse por completo la autenticación y tomar control total de la plataforma de gestión de talento. Se recomienda actualizar inmediatamente a la versión 1.3 para mitigar este riesgo de suplantación de identidad.
