| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with a valid low-privilege ERPNext account (CVSS PR:L); it is not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers. The attacker must reach one of the specific affected endpoints that lack input validation and submit crafted input that alters the backend SQL query. The affected deployments are ERPNext versions before 15.102.0 and 16.x before 16.8.0; upgrading to 15.102.0 or 16.8.0 removes the flaw. The limiting factor is the account requirement - an attacker needs legitimate (or compromised) credentials - while no special non-default configuration or user interaction is needed beyond holding such an account. |
| Impact | The input 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, base 7.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection that requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with data extraction rather than full compromise. No EPSS score was provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC is indicated, so the only concrete exploitation signal is the CVSS vector itself and VulnCheck's advisory. This places the issue as a genuine but moderate priority: SQL injection with network reach and low complexity is attractive, but the PR:L authentication requirement meaningfully narrows the attacker population to users who already hold a valid (even if low-privilege) ERPNext account, which argues against mass unauthenticated exploitation. Key missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS probability is available to gauge likelihood, and no exploitation-status evidence (KEV/POC) exists, so real-world weaponization cannot be confirmed from the provided data. The confidentiality-only impact (VI:N/VA:N) suggests information disclosure rather than database takeover, which should temper severity relative to a classic write-capable SQLi. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or registered a low-privilege ERPNext account authenticates and sends specially crafted requests to one of the affected endpoints that fail to validate input. The injected SQL manipulates the backend query to return data the account should not have access to, enabling extraction of sensitive records from the database. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires a valid low-privileged session. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
SQL injection in Frappe ERPNext before 15.102.0 and 16.x before 16.8.0 allows an authenticated attacker holding a low-privilege account to read sensitive information from the backend database by sending crafted requests to specific endpoints that fail to validate input. The assessed impact is confidentiality-only (CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N; vendor CVSS 4.0 base 7.1), meaning data extraction rather than integrity or availability loss, and exploitation is gated by the need for a valid ERPNext session and reachability of the affected endpoints. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no KEV listing, but the low complexity of the attack and the availability of vendor advisories mean patched versions should be applied promptly.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade to a patched release: ERPNext 15.102.0 or later on the 15.x branch, or ERPNext 16.8.0 or later on the 16.x branch (Vendor-released patch: 15.102.0 and 16.8.0). Consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/security/advisories/GHSA-rqv5-h4rv-w57m and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/frappe-erpnext-before-15.102.0-sql-injection-via-unvalidated-endpoint-requests for the specific endpoint list and branch details before scheduling the maintenance window, and test the upgrade in staging because ERPNext version jumps can carry framework-level schema or application changes. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensate by restricting access to the affected endpoints to trusted networks or roles: because exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L), the highest-value control is reducing the population of accounts that can reach those endpoints, at the cost of potentially breaking legitimate self-service or integration workflows. Enforce least privilege and review ERPNext role assignments and API keys for unnecessary read access, accepting that this limits rather than eliminates exposure for any account that retains access. Deploy a WAF or reverse-proxy rule set that blocks SQL metacharacter patterns on ERPNext application routes, understanding that evasion is possible and false positives may disrupt legitimate form submissions. Finally, enable and monitor database and application query logging for anomalous SELECT patterns and unusual data volumes originating from low-privileged sessions, since this vulnerability permits data extraction without leaving integrity or availability side effects.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection caused by missing input validation on a subset of ERPNext HTTP endpoints, where attacker-supplied parameters are incorporated into backend SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. ERPNext is a Python web application built on the Frappe framework and backed by a relational database, so a successful injection displaces the intended query logic and lets the attacker read arbitrary tables reachable by the application's database account. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:frappe:erpnext:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, confirming that the advisory scopes all ERPNext releases below the fixed branches rather than a single build. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) and the parallel assessment agree that this is a network-reachable, low-complexity injection requiring only a low-privileged authenticated session, with high confidentiality impact and no demonstrated integrity or availability effect - consistent with a read-only data-exfiltration primitive rather than query rewriting or code execution.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Frappe ERPNext before 15.102.0 and 16.x before 16.8.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in some endpoints due to missing input validation, allowing manipulation of database queries. Authenticated attackers with low privileges can send specially crafted requests to the affected endpoints to extract sensitive information from the database.

Executive ViewAI
Frappe ERPNext deployments running versions below 15.102.0, or 16.x below 16.8.0, can leak backend database contents to anyone who already holds a valid low-privilege ERPNext login. Because these systems commonly concentrate finance, HR, customer, and supply-chain records in one database, a single over-permissioned or compromised account could be used to harvest the organization's most sensitive business data, with no ability to alter or delete records. Leadership should treat this as a data-loss and regulatory exposure issue for every business process that runs on the platform, not merely an application defect.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the advisory's version thresholds (fixed builds 15.102.0 and 16.8.0) define the remediation target once they are obtainable. Interim mitigations: enforce least privilege and remove broad report/list/API permissions from low-privilege accounts, restrict network reachability of affected endpoints (VPN, IP allowlisting, segmenting ERPNext from the public internet), rate-limit and log the affected report, list-view, and API routes, monitor database queries and outbound data flows for anomalous bulk reads, and audit for custom apps or endpoints that replicate the same input-validation gap.
