CVE-2025-59525

Horilla is a free and open source Human Resource Management System (HRMS). Prior to version 1.4.0, improper sanitization across the application allows XSS via uploaded SVG (and via allowed <embed>), which can be chained to execute JavaScript whenever users view impacted content (e.g., announcements). This can result in admin account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 1.4.0.

Summary
  • (es) Horilla es un Sistema de Gestión de Recursos Humanos (HRMS) gratuito y de código abierto. Antes de la versión 1.4.0, una sanitización inadecuada en toda la aplicación permite XSS a través de SVG cargados (y a través de permitidos), lo que puede encadenarse para ejecutar JavaScript cada vez que los usuarios visualizan contenido afectado (por ejemplo, anuncios). Esto puede resultar en la toma de control de la cuenta de administrador. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 1.4.0.
