CWE ID Description
CWE-74 The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-108806 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the EmployeeRecruitmentSystem application. It exists in the forgot password handler of the authprocessing.php file. The vulnerability occurs because user input from the fpemail parameter is directly inserted into a MySQL query without sanitization. This allows attackers to manipulate the query and access or extract sensitive database information.

Detection Guidance

Check if the vulnerable file source/authprocessing.php exists and inspect the Forgot Password Handler for unsanitized fpemail parameter usage in MySQL queries. Use tools like sqlmap to test for SQL injection by sending crafted POST requests to /source/authprocessing.php with the fpemail parameter.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform SQL injection attacks without authentication. They can extract sensitive data like database names, user emails, plaintext passwords, admin credentials, and candidate profiles. Attackers can also enumerate registered email addresses for phishing attacks. The flaw enables various SQL injection techniques including boolean-based blind, error-based, time-based blind, and UNION query attacks.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates compliance requirements for GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized data access and potential exposure of personal and sensitive information. GDPR requires protection of personal data and breach notification, while HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information. The SQL injection flaw creates a high risk of unauthorized data exposure.

Mitigation Strategies

Implement strict input validation for the fpemail parameter, replace mysql_query with prepared statements or parameterized queries, remove raw error messages in production, and ensure generic responses for account existence checks to prevent user enumeration.
