CVE Alert: CVE-2026-108806 – krupalshah

A vulnerability has been found in krupalshah EmployeeRecruitmentSystem up to 922ff6d208278282e7c8e36d70d9ae356adec9fe. Affected by this issue is the function mysql_query of the file source/authprocessing.php of the component Forgot Password Handler. Such manipulation of the argument fpemail leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. 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:** Prioritise prompt exposure review and remediation; public exploit disclosure increases risk, but no active exploitation status is provided.

**Why this matters:** A successful attack could expose or alter recruitment data and disrupt the application or its database. Attackers may target candidate information, manipulate records, or use the system as a foothold for further activity. No KEV, SSVC or EPSS values are supplied, so confirmed exploitation and broader likelihood remain uncertain.

**Most likely attack path:** A remote, unauthenticated attacker can submit crafted input to the password-recovery flow; no user interaction or special conditions appear necessary. The stated scope is unchanged, so direct impact is within the application’s authority, though stolen credentials or database access could enable follow-on movement.

**Who is most exposed:** Organisations running this recruitment application on an internet-accessible server are most at risk, particularly where it has access to candidate records or shared databases.

Review web logs for unusual input and repeated requests to the password-recovery handler.

Alert on database errors, abnormal query behaviour, or unexpected response changes linked to that endpoint.

Check for unusual reads or modifications in recruitment records and database accounts.

Mitigation and prioritisation

Identify affected deployments; seek a maintained fixed release, or plan migration if none is available.

Until replaced or fixed, restrict access to the application and password-recovery route; consider a WAF rule as a temporary layer.

Use parameterised queries and validate input in any maintained fork; test recovery workflows before production changes.

Review database access and credentials, and investigate signs of prior abuse.
