CVE-2026-85214: vhr broken access control in PUT /hr/info endpoint

CVE-2026-85214 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-09-03

vhr is an open-source HR management system. The application fails to properly validate that authenticated users can only modify their own HR profiles, allowing attackers to overwrite other employees' personal information (names, addresses) and disable accounts including administrators.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a broken access control (CWE-639/CWE-863) in the PUT /hr/info endpoint. The endpoint accepts a profile ID in the request body but does not validate that the authenticated user has permission to modify that specific profile. An authenticated attacker can supply any profile ID to overwrite arbitrary HR records, including disabling admin accounts. The attack requires network access and authentication, but no special privileges. No patch information is provided in the advisory.
