Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-59832 is a potent vulnerability found in Horilla, a widely-used open source Human Resource Management System (HRMS). The flaw is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could allow an attacker with low-privilege access to execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator’s browser.
