CVE Alert: CVE-2026-108805 – krupalshah

A flaw has been found in krupalshah EmployeeRecruitmentSystem up to 922ff6d208278282e7c8e36d70d9ae356adec9fe. Affected by this vulnerability is the function mysql_query of the file source/loginprocessing.php of the component Login Handler. This manipulation of the argument email/password causes sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The vendor was contacted early this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

**Risk verdict:** High operational concern for any exposed deployment, but confirmed exploitation urgency cannot be established because KEV, SSVC and EPSS status are not provided.

**Why this matters:** The published exploit indication lowers the effort needed to target the login path. Successful injection could expose or alter recruitment and account data, or disrupt service; the actual database privileges and reachable data remain unknown.

**Most likely attack path:** An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit crafted email or password values to the login handler, with no user interaction or special timing required. The assessed scope is unchanged, so direct lateral movement is not indicated, though database access could provide a foothold for further activity depending on credentials and network segmentation.

**Who is most exposed:** Internet-facing installations and recruitment portals using this code are the main concern, particularly where the application connects to a database with broad permissions. The maintainer reportedly no longer supports the software, and the available information does not confirm a fixed release.

Review web and application logs for SQL syntax, quote, or tautology patterns in login fields.

Correlate repeated anomalous login requests with database errors or unusual query volume.

Check database audit logs for unexpected reads, writes, schema changes or access outside normal application behaviour.

Hunt for suspicious authentication successes following malformed login attempts.

Mitigation and prioritisation

Identify affected deployments and plan migration or replacement; do not assume an upstream patch exists.

Restrict public access to the login endpoint where feasible; use a managed WAF rule as a temporary safeguard.

Enforce least-privilege database accounts and isolate the application from unrelated systems.

Test changes in staging and monitor login and database behaviour after deployment.

Obtain KEV and EPSS status before assigning final urgency; those signals are unavailable here.
