AI Analysis

Impact

Frappe ERPNext includes missing authorization checks on several endpoints, allowing an authenticated user to retrieve financial data beyond the permissions granted by their role. The flaw permits disclosure of sensitive accounting information and transaction history, constituting a confidentiality breach that matches the CWE-862 access control weakness.

Affected Systems

Frappé ERPNext installations running any version earlier than 15.121.3 or any 16.x release earlier than 16.35.0 are affected. The vulnerability resides in endpoints that fail to enforce role‑based authorization checks, exposing a subset of financial data to users who should not have access.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high risk level. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, yet the exploitation vector is straightforward: an authenticated attacker can issue requests to the vulnerable endpoints and read restricted financial data. The difficulty of exploitation is low, and the impact is significant for organizations that rely on ERPNext for financial management.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ERPNext to version 15.121.3 or newer, or 16.35.0 or newer, to receive the remediation that restores proper authorization checks.
  • Disable the affected endpoints or restrict access to them via network segmentation or firewall rules until the patch is applied.
  • Review and tighten role assignments, ensuring that users have only the minimal privileges required for their job functions, to reduce the potential impact if a similar authorization flaw were to arise.
