Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Frappe is a full-stack web application framework. Prior to 16.19.0 and 15.109.0, path traversal via download_backups was possible due to lack of hardening. This issue is fixed in versions 16.19.0 and 15.109.0.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal via the download_backups endpoint in Frappe framework exposes arbitrary server-side files to authenticated high-privilege users. Affected versions span the entire v15 branch prior to 15.109.0 and the v16 branch prior to 16.19.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:frappe:frappe:*). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a Frappe administrator account (PR:H); standard or guest Frappe user roles are insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N reflects a real but constrained risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained Frappe administrator credentials - whether through phishing, credential stuffing, or a prior compromise - authenticates to the Frappe desk and issues a crafted request to the download_backups endpoint using a path traversal sequence (e.g., filename=../../.env or filename=../../../etc/shadow) to retrieve files outside the backup directory. The server, lacking canonical path validation, resolves and returns the requested file, potentially exposing database credentials, secret keys, or OS-level sensitive files that enable further system compromise. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Frappe to version 16.19.0 (v16 branch) or 15.109.0 (v15 branch); these are the vendor-confirmed fixed releases per GitHub advisory GHSA-w4p4-fp9m-47gj (https://github.com/frappe/frappe/security/advisories/GHSA-w4p4-fp9m-47gj). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
