Authenticated RCE via dynamic export function generation

Published Sep 25, 2026 · Updated Sep 25, 2026

Code injection in Horilla HRMS before 2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute operating-system commands through list-view exports. The HorillaListView.export_data method interpolates field_tuple[1] from the columns POST value into Python source and executes the generated function definition. Any authenticated account able to invoke a list-view export can run commands with the application process privileges, including root in the shipped container.
