Other vulnerabilities in Halo
See all- CVE-2026-97182High
A security vulnerability has been detected in halo-dev Halo up to 2.25.4/2.26.1. Affected is an unknown function of the file application/src/main/java/run/halo/app/content/comment/ReplyNotificationSubscriptionHelper.java of the SpEL Handler component. Such manipulation leads to improper neutralization.
- CVE-2026-116117High
A flaw was found in halo-dev halo up to version 2.27.0-beta.1 in the resolveViewNameOrDefault function of the DefaultViewNameResolver class, which handles view name resolution. Manipulating the template argument leads to path traversal, allowing access to files outside the intended directory. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and a public exploit is already available.
- CVE-2026-91772Medium
Halo through 2.26.1 contains an open redirect vulnerability in the anonymous thumbnail endpoint that fails to validate the uri query parameter. Attackers can craft malicious links on the trusted Halo domain that redirect visitors to arbitrary external sites, enabling phishing attacks and abuse of redirect-based trust relationships.
- CVE-2026-78971Medium
In Halo <= 2.25.4, the plugin management feature allows users to install/update malicious plugins, which could let attackers execute any command with Halo process permissions.
- CVE-2026-67920High
An issue in Halo 2.25.4 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the run.halo.app.migration.impl.MigrationServiceImpl.restoreWorkdir(), and org.springframework.util.FileSystemUtils.copyRecursively() components.
- CVE-2026-15326Low
A path traversal vulnerability was found in halo-dev halo up to version 2.24.2 in the ThemeUtils.unzipThemeTo function of ThemeUtils.java during theme installation. Manipulating the metadata.name argument allows remote exploitation, and a public exploit is available.
- CVE-2026-55439Medium
Halo is an open source website building tool. Prior to version 2.24.3, a path traversal vulnerability in the backup download endpoint allows authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem.
- CVE-2025-15141Low
A vulnerability in Halo up to version 2.21.10 affects some unknown processing in the file /actuator of the Configuration Handler component. Manipulation leads to information disclosure. The attack may be performed remotely but requires high complexity and is difficult to exploit. The exploit has been publicly disclosed.
- CVE-2025-51857Medium
An XSS vulnerability in the reconcile method of the AttachmentReconciler class in Halo system v.2.20.18LTS and earlier allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts.
- CVE-2023-27164Medium
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Halo up to v1.6.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .md file.
