The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated ERPNext session with at least a low-privilege role (consistent with CVSS PR:L); anonymous or unauthenticated access is not sufficient. The attacker must have network access to the ERPNext web interface. No non-default configuration is required - any ERPNext deployment where the Process Statement of Accounts doctype is in use is susceptible. Exploitation is strictly limited by the authentication prerequisite; an external attacker without credentials cannot trigger this flaw. The scope is further bounded by the fact that the unauthorized action is email dispatch, not data read or system modification.

Impact

The CVSS 4.3 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) accurately reflects the bounded nature of this flaw: network-reachable and low-complexity, but gated behind authentication (PR:L) with only limited integrity impact and zero confidentiality or availability consequence. No EPSS data was provided in the input; KEV status is not confirmed, and no public exploit code is known, meaning real-world exploitation pressure appears low at time of analysis. The practical impact is unsolicited bulk emails being sent to customers on behalf of the organization - a compliance and reputational concern rather than a data breach vector. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok should treat this as a standard patch-cycle item rather than an emergency response, given that an attacker must already possess valid credentials and the blast radius is confined to email integrity rather than system access. The CVSS vector is consistent with the description and source code evidence; no conflicting signals were identified.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated ERPNext user assigned a low-privilege role such as a data entry clerk or sales representative directly calls the send_emails API endpoint associated with a Process Statement Of Accounts document. Because the missing permission check was not enforced prior to patching, the request succeeds and the system dispatches bulk automated account statement emails to all customers linked to that document without any role authorization. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, so exploitation would require knowledge of ERPNext's internal API structure.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 10, 2026

Missing authorization in ERPNext's Process Statement of Accounts module allows any authenticated low-privilege user to invoke the send_emails function and dispatch automated account statement emails to customers without holding the required role. Versions prior to 15.111.0 (v15 branch) and 16.22.0 (v16 branch) are affected across all ERPNext deployments using this accounts feature. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; the vendor has released confirmed patches for both active version branches.

RemediationAI

Upgrade ERPNext to version 15.111.0 on the v15 branch or 16.22.0 on the v16 branch; both releases are confirmed at https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/releases/tag/v15.111.0 and https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/releases/tag/v16.22.0 respectively. The underlying fix is also available in commits 18ca96c36ba65362bf1c25abb8eab32c64c6c7dd and e15879acd118ccd343e31ad3b5a6279e514c82c2 via PR #55781. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators should audit existing user roles and remove accounts module access from any users who should not be triggering statement emails; note that this does not prevent exploitation by users who legitimately require other accounts permissions. Disabling the Process Statement of Accounts scheduled task temporarily is another option, though it will halt legitimate automated statement delivery.

Technical ContextAI · show details

ERPNext is a Python/Frappe-framework-based open source ERP platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:frappe:erpnext:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The affected code resides in erpnext/accounts/doctype/process_statement_of_accounts/process_statement_of_accounts.py, specifically the send_emails function, which is responsible for dispatching automated customer account statement PDFs via email. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes the root cause precisely: the function was exposed as a callable endpoint without first verifying that the calling user held the 'Process Statement Of Accounts' Frappe permission. The confirmed fix, visible in PR #55781 (commits 18ca96c3 and e15879ac), adds a frappe.has_permission('Process Statement Of Accounts', throw=True) guard at the function entry point, enforcing the intended access control before any email dispatch logic executes.

DescriptionCVE.org

ERPNext is a free and open source Enterprise Resource Planning tool. Prior to 15.111.0 and 16.22.0, the send_auto_email function in erpnext/accounts/doctype/process_statement_of_accounts/process_statement_of_accounts.py lacks a Process Statement Of Accounts permission check, allowing an authenticated low-privilege user to trigger automated emails outside the permitted role. This issue is fixed in versions 15.111.0 and 16.22.0.
