Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-66291 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-2025-66291/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66291/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-66291","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66291/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-66291","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v32g-r8xx-4g6g"],"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":"Unauthorized users can access confidential interview attachments in OrangeHRM due to missing authorization checks on file retrieval endpoints.","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 interview attachment retrieval endpoint in the Recruitment module serves files based solely on an authenticated session and user-supplied identifiers, without verifying whether the requester has permission to access the associated interview record. Because the server does not perform any recruitment-level authorization checks, an ESS-level user with no access to recruitment workflows can directly request interview attachment URLs and receive the corresponding files. This exposes confidential interview documents—including candidate CVs, evaluations, and supporting files—to unauthorized users. The issue arises from relying on predictable object identifiers and session presence rather than validating the user’s association with the relevant recruitment process. 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 Interview Attachments","id":"CVE-2025-66291","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"DPanel has an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in /api/common/attach/delete interface","id":"CVE-2025-66292"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OrangeHRM is Vulnerable to Improper Authorization Allowing Unauthorized Access to Candidate Attachments","id":"CVE-2025-66290"},"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":"2025-12-03","vendors":["orangehrm"]},"summary":"Unauthorized users can access confidential interview attachments in OrangeHRM due to missing authorization checks on file retrieval endpoints.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66291/"}
