HUMANIST Digital Human Resources: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
CVE-2026-14804 is a critical-severity use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in HUMANIST Digital Human Resources from Bilin Software and Informatics Consultancy, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 26.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating HUMANIST Digital Human Resources to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update HUMANIST Digital Human Resources to 26.1 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
