HireFlow: Use of Hard-coded Credentials
HireFlow is a web-based interview management system for managing candidates, scheduling interviews, and tracking hiring progress. In 1.2 and earlier, app.py assigns a hard-coded Flask secretkey used to sign session cookies, allowing unauthenticated attackers who know the public source value to forge cookies containing role=admin and userid values and bypass authentication. The advisory lists version 1.3 as fixed.
