Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-66290 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: orangehrm. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66290/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66290/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-66290","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66290/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-66290","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qf8r-c54j-jw88"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HRM system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass recruitment permissions to download sensitive candidate attachments, exposing personal data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"orangehrm","vendor":"orangehrm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"OrangeHRM is a comprehensive human resource management (HRM) system. From version 5.0 to 5.7, the application’s recruitment attachment retrieval endpoint does not enforce the required authorization checks before serving candidate files. Even users restricted to ESS-level access, who have no permission to view the Recruitment module, can directly access candidate attachment URLs. When an authenticated request is made to the attachment endpoint, the system validates the session but does not confirm that the requesting user has the necessary recruitment permissions. As a result, any authenticated user can download CVs and other uploaded documents for arbitrary candidates by issuing direct requests to the attachment endpoint, leading to unauthorized exposure of sensitive applicant data. This issue has been patched in version 5.8.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Improper Authorization Allowing Unauthorized Access to Candidate Attachments","id":"CVE-2025-66290","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Improper Authorization Allowing Unauthorized Access to Interview Attachments","id":"CVE-2025-66291"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Persistent Session Access Due to Missing Invalidation After User Disable and Password Change","id":"CVE-2025-66289"},"products":["orangehrm"],"published":"2025-11-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-02"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Code Execution Through Arbitrary File Write from Sendmail Parameter Injection","id":"CVE-2025-66224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-29"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12839","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Account Takeover Through Unvalidated Username in Password Reset Workflow","id":"CVE-2025-66225","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-29"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Persistent Session Access Due to Missing Invalidation After User Disable and Password Change","id":"CVE-2025-66289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-29"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-36428","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-27"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-29437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-01","vendors":["orangehrm"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass recruitment permissions to download sensitive candidate attachments, exposing personal data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66290/"}
