MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with permission to create or edit a dashboard chart and set its filter values - the exact vulnerable feature is the dashboard chart filter input, which jQuery renders as rich text instead of escaping it. Execution additionally requires a second user to open and view the attacker-controlled dashboard chart (UI:P / UI:R), so the payload does not fire without victim interaction. Limiting factors: the attacker must already hold valid credentials with chart-editing rights, impact is confined to the viewing user's browser session (no direct server compromise), and the affected versions are Frappe before 15.118.0 and 16.x before 16.31.0, so patched or non-dashboard deployments are not exposed. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity stored XSS (CWE-79) with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that nonetheless requires the attacker to be authenticated (PR:L) and requires a victim to passively view the affected dashboard chart (UI:P). Impact is constrained: the vulnerable-system confidentiality/integrity/availability are all None (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N) and only subsequent-system confidentiality and integrity are Low (SC:L/SI:L/SA:N), reflecting script execution in a victim's browser session rather than compromise of the Frappe server itself. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC indicator was supplied in the input; the issue is not on CISA KEV and no public exploit was referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are internally consistent - no network-vs-local or auth contradictions - and point to a real but moderate risk: it depends on a malicious or compromised authenticated account and social/workflow conditions (a victim viewing the attacker-controlled chart), making it more of a privilege-escalation / session-abuse concern in multi-tenant or multi-user deployments than a mass-exploitable critical flaw. EPSS data is missing, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege Frappe user creates or edits a dashboard chart and enters a malicious payload as a filter value, which jQuery renders as rich text rather than escaping it. When a higher-privileged user (e.g. an administrator) later opens that dashboard chart, the stored script executes in their browser session, enabling session-context actions or data theft. No public exploit code was referenced in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Frappe versions prior to 15.118.0 and 16.x before 16.31.0 allows authenticated attackers with dashboard chart editing privileges to inject malicious filter values that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected chart. The vulnerability arises because jQuery renders filter values as rich text instead of escaping them. Exploitation requires the victim to open the dashboard chart, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. This medium-severity issue (CVSS 5.1) can lead to session hijacking or other client-side attacks for the viewing user.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Frappe version 15.118.0 or 16.31.0, which contain the fix for this stored XSS vulnerability. As a workaround, restrict the ability to create or edit dashboard charts to trusted users only, or disable the dashboard chart filter feature if it is not essential, though this reduces functionality. Additionally, ensure that users with chart-editing permissions are aware of the risk and that browser-based protections such as Content Security Policy (CSP) are in place to mitigate XSS impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) in the Frappe framework's dashboard chart component. Dashboard charts allow users to apply filters, and the filter values are rendered using jQuery in a way that treats them as rich text rather than sanitizing them. An authenticated attacker with permission to create or edit a dashboard chart can store a malicious payload in a filter value, which is then executed when another user views the chart. This requires user interaction (the victim must open the dashboard chart) and is limited to the context of the victim's browser session. The affected products are identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:frappe:frappe:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and include all versions of Frappe before 15.118.0 and 16.x versions before 16.31.0.

Frappe before 15.118.0 and 16.x before 16.31.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in dashboard chart filters because jQuery renders entered filter values as rich text. Authenticated attackers can store malicious filter values that execute scripts in the browsers of users who view the dashboard chart.
