CVE-2026-24010Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via profile-photo HTML upload

Published Jan 22, 2026 · Updated Jan 22, 2026

HTML injection in Horilla HRMS before 1.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to harvest credentials through profile-photo uploads. The profile-photo update accepts an intercepted upload whose filename extension and Content-Type are changed, then serves the attacker-controlled HTML from the Horilla domain. Exploitation requires profile-photo update privileges and a victim who follows the uploaded-file link and submits credentials to the rendered phishing page.
