Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 24 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately upgrade horilla to version 1.0.3 or later, which contains the official patch addressing the open redirect vulnerability. In addition to upgrading, developers should audit any usage of URL redirection parameters within their applications to ensure proper validation, such as allowing only internal URLs or using a whitelist approach. Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of malicious redirects by restricting the domains to which users can be redirected. Security teams should monitor for suspicious URLs referencing horilla domains in phishing campaigns and educate users about the risks of clicking unexpected links, even if they appear to come from trusted sources. Logging and alerting on unusual redirect patterns can also help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block open redirect attempts targeting horilla endpoints.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in horilla-opensource horilla up to 1.0.2. This issue affects the function get of the file horilla_generics/global_search.py of the component Query Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument prev_url results in open redirect. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.0.3 is capable of addressing this issue. The patch is identified as 730b5a44ff060916780c44a4bdbc8ced70a2cd27. The affected component should be upgraded.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential facilitation of phishing and social engineering attacks. Attackers can leverage the open redirect to craft URLs that appear to originate from a trusted horilla-based application, increasing the likelihood that users will trust and click malicious links. This can lead to credential theft, malware delivery, or redirection to fraudulent websites. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise system confidentiality, integrity, or availability, it undermines user trust and can serve as a stepping stone for more sophisticated attacks. Organizations relying on horilla in customer-facing or internal applications risk reputational damage and potential user data compromise if attackers exploit this flaw. The medium CVSS score reflects the moderate risk, given the ease of exploitation and the potential for indirect harm through phishing.
