In version 1.4.0, the OTP handling logic has a flawed equality check that can be bypassed. When an OTP expires, the server returns None, and if an attacker omits the otp field from their POST request, the user-supplied OTP is also None, causing the comparison user_otp == otp to pass. This allows an attacker to bypass two-factor authentication entirely without ever providing a valid OTP. If administrative accounts are targeted, it could lead to compromise of sensitive HR data, manipulation of employee records, and further system-wide abuse. This issue has been fixed in version 1.5.0."}], "lastModified": "2026-01-29T18:54:50.163", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:horilla:horilla:1.4.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "55143854-C369-4CAA-B671-90EFC9170F64"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "security-advisories@github.com"}
