How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability is limited to authenticated users who can reach the candidate management endpoint, but within that scope an attacker can often achieve significant database compromise and, depending on configuration, may escalate to remote code execution.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker needs valid credentials and the ability to interact with the candidate management functionality. Elevated roles that can trigger more database operations or write actions may increase the impact.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

Refactor the affected data access code to use parameterized queries or an ORM that automatically binds parameters, remove any dynamic SQL string building with user input, and ensure the database account used by the application has only the minimal privileges necessary.
