AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Frappe versions prior to 15.98.0 and 14.100.0 contain an improper access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to grant document permissions they do not possess to other users. An attacker with valid credentials could escalate privileges by sharing documents with elevated permissions, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling unauthorized modifications. No patch is currently available.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to versions 15.98.0 and 14.100.0, due to a lack of validation when sharing documents, a user could share a document with a permission that they themselves didn't have. This issue has been patched in versions 15.98.0 and 14.100.0.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A privilege escalation vulnerability in Frappe allows users to grant document access permissions they do not themselves possess, potentially exposing sensitive business data to unauthorized parties. Organizations running Frappe versions prior to 15.98.0 or 14.100.0 face immediate risk of data breach and compliance violations if users exploit this flaw to share restricted documents.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict document sharing functionality to administrative users only; implement granular role-based access controls limiting who can perform sharing operations; enable comprehensive audit logging of all document permission changes; conduct periodic access reviews of shared documents; consider network segmentation to limit Frappe instance accessibility; monitor for suspicious sharing patterns through SIEM integration.
