NVD description

Frappe ERPNext before 15.120.0 and 16.x before 16.23.0 contains an authorization bypass in an endpoint that honours a caller-supplied flag disabling its own permission enforcement. Authenticated attackers can set this flag when calling the endpoint to skip permission checks and read party records beyond their permitted role.
