2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
ERPNext is a free and open source Enterprise Resource Planning tool. Prior to 15.101.1 and 16.10.0, an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability on an endpoint allows an authenticated adjacent attacker to read arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.101.1 and 16.10.0.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid ERPNext user account (authenticated access - CVSS PR:L confirmed). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score of 6.5 (Medium) is driven primarily by the High confidentiality impact and network attack vector, tempered by the requirement for prior authentication (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a standard ERPNext user account authenticates to the application and submits a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint, embedding path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../etc/passwd' or equivalent) in a filename or path parameter. Because no additional complexity or user interaction is required, the server returns the contents of the targeted file, enabling the attacker to read sensitive operating system files, application configuration files containing database credentials, or private keys. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade ERPNext to version 15.101.1 (stable branch) or 16.10.0 (16.x branch), both confirmed as patching this vulnerability by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/security/advisories/GHSA-6ffr-92hr-3394. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
