CVE-2025-48868

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.2)—

Horilla is a free and open source Human Resource Management System (HRMS). An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Horilla 1.3.0 due to the unsafe use of Python’s eval() function on a user-controlled query parameter in the project_bulk_archive view. This allows privileged users (e.g., administrators) to execute arbitrary system commands on the server. While having Django’s DEBUG=True makes exploitation visibly easier by returning command output in the HTTP response, this is not required. The vulnerability can still be exploited in DEBUG=False mode by using blind payloads such as a reverse shell, leading to full remote code execution. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.1.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

Existe una vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código (RCE) autenticada en Horilla 1.3.0 debido al uso inseguro de la función 'eval()' de Python en un parámetro de consulta controlado por el usuario en la vista 'project_bulk_archive'. Esto permite a los usuarios privilegiados (por ejemplo, administradores) ejecutar comandos de sistema arbitrarios en el servidor. Si bien tener 'DEBUG=True' de Django facilita visiblemente la explotación al devolver la salida del comando en la respuesta HTTP, esto no es necesario. La vulnerabilidad aún puede ser explotada en modo 'DEBUG=False' mediante el uso de payloads ciegos, como una shell inversa, lo que lleva a una ejecución remota de código completa. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 1.3.1."
