MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated session on the target Frappe/ERPNext application (CVSS PR:L - any valid low-privilege user account is sufficient, not an administrator), after which the attacker sends crafted, improperly-neutralized input to the specific frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.get_events method. Because the flaw is blind, exploitation depends on the attacker being able to observe differential application behavior/responses to inferred boolean conditions. Limiting factors: exploitation is impossible for fully unauthenticated outsiders, so the practical attack surface is governed by how accounts are provisioned (self-registration or multi-tenant portals widen it); affected deployments must run a Frappe Framework version before 16.33.0. No special non-default configuration or user interaction is otherwise required. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, authentication-gated vulnerability rather than a critical internet-wide emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N) scores 7.1 (High) and confirms network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that requires low-level privileges (PR:L) - i.e., any authenticated user account suffices, there is no user-interaction requirement, and the dominant impact is high confidentiality (VC:H) via blind data extraction with only limited integrity impact (VI:L) and no availability impact. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code provided in the input, so all three real-world exploitation signals are currently absent; this places the issue in the 'elevate due to high confidentiality impact and low attack complexity, but temper because exploitation requires authentication and no active exploitation is evidenced' category. No SSVC decision data was supplied. The key tempering factor is PR:L: because any authenticated (even low-privilege) user can reach get_events, the real exposure depends heavily on how freely accounts are provisioned on a given Frappe/ERPNext deployment - multi-tenant or self-signup portals materially raise risk, whereas tightly controlled internal instances lower it. No conflicting signals were detected: the CVSS 4.0 vector, the CWE-89 classification, and the description (authenticated blind SQLi) are mutually consistent. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds any valid (even low-privilege) account on a Frappe-based application - such as an ERPNext portal user - sends crafted input to the frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.event.get_events endpoint and observes differences in application responses to infer the truth of injected boolean SQL conditions. By iterating these true/false inferences, the attacker performs blind SQL injection to extract sensitive database contents such as credentials, tokens, or other tenants' records. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) makes a bespoke script straightforward to develop. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Blind SQL injection in Frappe Framework before 16.33.0 allows any authenticated low-privilege user to submit crafted input to the frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.get_events method and infer sensitive database contents from application behavior. The defect is rated CVSS 7.1 (CVSS 4.0) and assessed as CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, meaning exploitation is network-reachable but requires a valid account and no administrator rights. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and KEV status is not indicated.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 16.33.0. Upgrade Frappe Framework to 16.33.0 or later, following the vendor advisory at https://github.com/frappe/frappe/security/advisories/GHSA-p4w2-9mr5-6prj . If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by tightening account provisioning-disable self-registration or require administrative approval-and audit existing low-privilege accounts, since the vulnerability requires only any authenticated session; this lowers the attack surface but does not remediate the SQL injection. Apply role-based restrictions on the event feature where feasible, noting that this may disrupt legitimate event workflows, and monitor application logs and responses for anomalous error, timing, or behavioral patterns on the get_events endpoint, accepting that detection may be incomplete for a blind SQL injection.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) is the root cause: the server-side frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.get_events method incorporates user-supplied input into SQL queries without adequate parameterization or escaping. Frappe Framework is a web application framework used to build business applications such as ERPNext; the vulnerable method is reachable by authenticated users. Because the injection is blind, an attacker does not receive direct query output but can observe differential application responses, errors, or timing to infer boolean conditions and extract database information. CPE cpe:2.3:a:frappe:frappe:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all affected versions before 16.33.0, and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector confirms network reachability, low-privilege authentication, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Frappe Framework before 16.33.0 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.get_events method, which fails to properly neutralize user-supplied input before including it in SQL queries. Authenticated attackers can send crafted input to get_events and infer query results from application behavior to extract sensitive database information.

Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Frappe Framework deployments below 16.33.0 carry a high-severity data-exposure risk: a routine authenticated user account can be abused to infer sensitive database contents. Leadership should care because compromised or malicious low-privilege accounts could expose business data without administrative access, and no vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include restricting access to affected Frappe instances, enforcing least privilege and MFA, monitoring or limiting use of frappe.desk.doctype.event.event.get_events, enabling database query logging, deploying WAF or API-gateway SQL-injection rules, and rotating credentials for suspicious accounts.
