Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25500 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Simple Job Script, affecting the register-recruiters endpoint. The flaw occurs through the employerid parameter, which allows attackers to inject SQL code and manipulate database queries. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with low integrity impact and no availability impact. The vulnerability was published on 2026-03-04.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By sending POST requests to the register-recruiters endpoint containing time-based SQL injection payloads, attackers can extract sensitive data from the database or modify its contents.
