| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid ERPNext user account with at minimum low-privilege access, as confirmed by the CVSS PR:L vector - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. The attacker must have the ability to send crafted HTTP requests to the specific endpoint that triggers outbound server-side HTTP calls; the exact endpoint name is not disclosed in the public advisory, meaning attackers must identify it through source code review or probing. No non-default configuration is described as required beyond having an affected ERPNext version deployed. Exploitation impact is bounded by what services are reachable from the ERPNext server's network position - environments with strict egress controls or no access to internal metadata services will experience reduced impact. The SSVC automatable=no assessment indicates exploitation requires attacker-specific interaction and cannot be mass-exploited via automated scanning. |
| Impact | The CVSS 5.0 score reflects a medium-severity finding: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), but with Changed scope (S:C) and only partial confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability impact. The PR:L requirement meaningfully raises the bar above unauthenticated exploitation. EPSS at 0.02% (7th percentile) signals negligible observed real-world exploitation probability. The SSVC framework further characterizes this as exploitation=none, automatable=no, technical impact=partial - consistent with a vulnerability that poses theoretical risk but has not been operationalized in attack campaigns. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified. The most significant residual risk is in environments where ERPNext is accessible to untrusted authenticated users (e.g., multi-tenant deployments, customer-facing portals) and where the application server has unfiltered egress to internal infrastructure. In hardened, single-tenant, or egress-filtered environments, real-world risk is further reduced. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated ERPNext user with low-privilege access identifies the SSRF-vulnerable endpoint and submits a crafted request with a URL pointing to an internal cloud metadata service (e.g., http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/). The ERPNext server, lacking proper URL validation, initiates the HTTP call and the attacker receives the response - potentially leaking IAM credentials, instance identity data, or internal API tokens. No public exploit code is known at time of analysis, and SSVC confirms the technique is not automatable, requiring targeted exploitation by a determined authenticated user. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in ERPNext allows an authenticated remote attacker to send a crafted request to a vulnerable endpoint, causing the ERPNext server to issue arbitrary outbound HTTP calls to attacker-controlled services. The CVSS Changed scope (S:C) indicates the impact extends beyond the application itself, enabling potential access to internal network resources, cloud metadata services, or other intranet endpoints not otherwise reachable by the attacker. Vendor-released patches exist in versions 15.106.0 and 16.16.0; no active exploitation has been confirmed (not listed in CISA KEV) and EPSS sits at a very low 0.02%.
RemediationAI
Upgrade ERPNext to version 15.106.0 or later on the v15 branch, or to version 16.16.0 or later on the v16 branch - these are the vendor-confirmed fixed releases per the security advisory at https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/security/advisories/GHSA-m4m4-j2m2-7fcw. If immediate patching is not feasible, apply network-level egress filtering on the ERPNext application server to block outbound requests to internal RFC-1918 address ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254, fd00:ec2::254) - this does not eliminate the vulnerability but prevents the most damaging SSRF pivots. Additionally, restricting the application to only allow HTTP egress through an authenticated forward proxy with an explicit allowlist of permitted external destinations is a compensating control that survives reboots, though it may disrupt legitimate integrations and requires careful allowlist maintenance. Restrict the number of user accounts with access to the vulnerable endpoint where possible, given that PR:L privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
ERPNext is an open-source ERP platform built on the Frappe framework (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:frappe:erpnext:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), a class of vulnerability where user-supplied input influences the destination of a server-initiated HTTP request without adequate validation or allowlisting. The Changed scope in the CVSS vector (S:C) is architecturally significant: it indicates the vulnerable ERPNext component can be leveraged to affect resources outside its own authorization boundary - a hallmark of SSRF where the application server acts as an unintended proxy. In cloud-deployed ERPNext environments this is particularly impactful, as the instance metadata service (e.g., 169.254.169.254) and internal microservices may become accessible via forged server-side requests. The vulnerability was reported via GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA-m4m4-j2m2-7fcw) by reporter GitHub_M.

1DescriptionGitHub Advisory
ERPNext is a free and open source Enterprise Resource Planning tool. Prior to 15.106.0 and 16.16.0, a malicious user could send a crafted request to an endpoint, which would lead to the server making an HTTP call to a service of the user's choice. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.106.0 and 16.16.0.
