Description

Horilla is an HR and CRM software. Prior to 1.6.0, the search parameter at /employee/employee-filter-view is reflected by jQuery .html() in employee/templates/employee_nav.html without HTML neutralization. An external attacker can craft and deliver a link that causes JavaScript to execute when an authenticated employee or administrator reaches the employee filter, allowing access to browser-visible session data and actions with the victim's application privileges. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.0.
