Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Human Resource Management System by a Leading Vendor

CVE-2025-40685

What is CVE-2025-40685?

The Human Resource Management System version 1.0 is vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting attack. This security flaw permits attackers to craft malicious URLs containing harmful JavaScript code, which can be executed in the browser of unsuspecting users. By exploiting the 'searcstate' parameter within the 'state.php' file, an attacker can manipulate how the web application processes input, ultimately leading to unauthorized access or data compromise. Organizations using this system should urgently assess their web security protocols and apply necessary updates to mitigate these risks.
