Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account with at least low-privileged access to the Frappe instance (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector). The attacker must be able to identify a parent DocType record they have read access to that contains a Link field pointing to a DocType for which their role lacks permission - a condition common in any multi-role Frappe deployment. No special configuration, non-default settings, or elevated privileges beyond basic authentication are required. Exploitation is read-only: no write, create, or delete capability is exposed. The bypass is specific to the REST API document retrieval path; the security advisory does not confirm whether other access paths (e.g., the Frappe web form UI) are equally affected.

Impact

The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores 7.1, capturing a network-accessible, low-complexity, authenticated read-only confidentiality bypass. No EPSS score was included in the intelligence data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from that signal. This CVE is not present in the CISA KEV catalog and no POC code has been identified, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. The practical risk is highest in multi-tenant or multi-role Frappe/ERPNext deployments - common in SME ERP contexts - where role-based data segregation is a security requirement. The PR:L constraint limits exposure to credentialed users, but in shared or SaaS Frappe instances, any low-privileged account becomes a viable attacker. Impact is strictly limited to confidentiality; integrity and availability are unaffected per both the CVSS vector and description.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privileged user - for example, a sales representative with access only to Sales Order documents - sends a crafted REST API GET request to retrieve a Sales Order record that contains a Link field referencing a restricted DocType such as Customer financial details or Employee payroll records. The framework resolves the linked fields without re-checking the requester's permissions on the target DocType and returns the sensitive data in the API response. No public exploit code has been identified, but the technique is straightforward for any user familiar with Frappe's documented REST API structure.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 26, 2026

Frappe's REST API before v15.115.0 contains an access control bypass (CWE-863) that allows any low-privileged authenticated user to read fields from Linked DocType records outside their permitted scope. When a document is fetched via the REST API, the framework resolves Link field references to other DocTypes but inconsistently re-applies the linked DocType's own permission rules, enabling horizontal data leakage across role boundaries. No confirmed active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, but the low attack complexity and network-accessible vector create meaningful data exfiltration risk in multi-role or multi-tenant Frappe/ERPNext deployments.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Frappe to version 15.115.0 or later, which contains the vendor-confirmed fix for this authorization bypass (https://github.com/frappe/frappe/releases/tag/v15.115.0; advisory: https://github.com/frappe/frappe/security/advisories/GHSA-p25m-7rvg-6fvr). If immediate upgrade is not feasible, reduce exposure by auditing and tightening Frappe role permissions to minimize the number of DocTypes that contain Link fields pointing to sensitive records, and restrict REST API access to only explicitly trusted authenticated users via network controls or reverse proxy ACLs. Note that Frappe role-permission changes can affect application functionality and should be tested before deployment. These controls reduce but do not eliminate the risk - patching to 15.115.0 is the definitive remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Frappe is a Python/JavaScript full-stack web application framework that underpins ERPNext and other business applications. Its data model is built around DocTypes - schema-defined document types - which may reference each other through Link fields. The REST API endpoint for document retrieval resolves these Link fields to populate related record data. The root cause (CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization) is that permission enforcement is applied to the parent document being fetched but not consistently re-evaluated against the linked DocType's own access control matrix. This means a user with read access to DocType A can retrieve fields from DocType B via a Link field on DocType A, even if their role explicitly excludes access to DocType B. No CPE strings were provided in the intelligence data; the affected codebase is github.com/frappe/frappe at all versions prior to 15.115.0.

DescriptionCVE.org

Frappe is a full-stack web application framework written in Python and JavaScript. Prior to version 15.115.0, an access control bypass in the REST API allows a user to read data from Linked DocTypes that they are not authorized to access. When a document references another document through a Link field, the framework does not consistently enforce the linked DocType's own permissions when the record is retrieved through the REST API, so a low-privileged authenticated user can obtain fields from linked records outside their permitted scope. This issue is fixed in version 15.115.0.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Frappe REST API versions before 15.115.0 contain an access control bypass (CWE-863) that allows authenticated low-privileged users to read sensitive data from linked documents outside their authorized scope. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity creates meaningful data leakage risk in multi-role and multi-tenant ERPNext deployments.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable REST API if not operationally necessary; restrict API access via network controls to trusted systems only; enforce principle-of-least-privilege for API users and role-based endpoint restrictions; implement detailed API request logging and alerting for linked-document access; apply API gateway or WAF rules blocking cross-role data queries; audit and restrict document linking permissions between sensitive DocType records. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; coordinate with vendor on v15.115.0 release timeline for remediation.
