AI Analysis

Impact

Frappe ERPNext versions prior to 15.115.0 and 16.x before 16.26.0 contain a missing authorization flaw in certain inventory endpoints. The flaw allows an authenticated user with a low‑privileged role to send requests that modify inventory records beyond the permissions granted for that role. This results in authenticated manipulation of critical data, compromising the integrity of inventory information.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Frappe ERPNext product. Vulnerable releases include all versions before 15.115.0 and all 16.x releases prior to 16.26.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a moderate‑to‑high severity. With no EPSS data and not listed in the KEV catalog, the overall exploitation likelihood appears limited, yet the impact on data integrity is significant. The likely attack vector requires the attacker to be an authenticated user, typically an internal staff member with a low‑privileged role, who can exploit the missing authorization to alter inventory records.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ERPNext to version 15.115.0 or later, or 16.26.0 or later, to receive the authorization fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to the affected inventory endpoints to users with appropriate administrative roles and verify that role‑based checks are enforced.
  • Perform an audit of inventory data integrity and review user permissions to ensure that no unauthorized modifications have occurred.
