Description
Frappe Framework 15.x before 15.107.3 and 16.x before 16.17.0 relies on a vulnerable pdfkit library (CVE-2025-26240) for PDF generation, enabling server-side request forgery and local file inclusion. Authenticated attackers can supply crafted content to PDF rendering to make the server fetch internal resources or embed local server files in generated PDFs.

AI Analysis

Impact

Frappe Framework versions earlier than 15.107.3 and 16.17.0 rely on a vulnerable pdfkit library (CVE-2025-26240) for PDF generation. An authenticated attacker can supply content that is rendered into a PDF, causing the server to fetch internal URLs or embed local files into the generated document. This allows the attacker to access internal network resources, read restricted files on the host, and potentially obtain sensitive data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Frappe Framework product from the vendor frappe. All 15.x releases prior to 15.107.3 and all 16.x releases prior to 16.17.0 are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates medium‑low severity. Exploitation is not available via EPSS data and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw requires an authenticated session, a user with legitimate credentials (or an attacker who has logged in) may craft PDF content to trigger the IPC request. The attack surface is limited to users with write access to PDF generation functions, but the potential impact on confidentiality and integrity of internal resources warrants immediate attention.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Frappe Framework to version 15.107.3 or newer, or 16.17.0 or newer, which incorporates the patched pdfkit library.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, temporarily disable or restrict access to the PDF generation endpoints for users lacking the necessary permissions, preventing authenticated but untrusted users from triggering PDF rendering.
  • Consider removing or revoking any privileges that allow users to supply arbitrary content for PDF rendering until the patch is applied, mitigating the risk of exploitation through crafted input.
