Impact

Authenticated low-privileged users can read sensitive project data beyond their assigned permissions. An attacker only needs basic network access and a valid low-privilege user account.

Affected systems

Frappe ERPNext versions before 15.111.0, and 16.x versions before 16.22.0

Fix & remediation

Upgrade Frappe ERPNext to version 15.111.0, 16.22.0, or newer. If patching cannot be done immediately, restrict network access to the application or revoke untrusted user accounts as no endpoint-specific mitigation is provided.

shell

$ bench update --apps erpnext
