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 | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated ERPNext session with at least low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L) that can reach the affected endpoints; the attacker then supplies unvalidated input to one of the 'multiple endpoints' to manipulate database queries. LIMITING FACTORS: authentication is mandatory (no anonymous/pre-auth path per PR:L), so risk is highest where low-privilege accounts are widely issued, self-registration is enabled, or the instance is internet-exposed and multi-tenant. Affected builds are ERPNext before 15.106.0 and 16.x before 16.16.0; patched versions remove the exposure. Impact is confined to data disclosure (VC:H) with no inherent integrity or availability impact per the vector. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, authenticated SQL injection (CWE-89) in Frappe ERPNext, best characterized as a real but access-gated data-exposure risk rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack with no user interaction, but PR:L means a valid authenticated account is a hard prerequisite - this is not a pre-auth mass-exploitation primitive. Impact is scoped to confidentiality only (VC:H, VI:N, VA:N): the flaw enables reading sensitive data from the database but, per the vector, does not directly grant data modification or denial of service. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public exploit code is present in the provided data, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'; the absence of these signals is consistent with a recently disclosed issue reported by VulnCheck rather than evidence of active campaigns. The main uncertainty: the description says 'multiple endpoints,' so the real-world blast radius depends on which features/roles the affected endpoints require - a low-privilege but broadly granted role would materially raise risk, while an admin-only endpoint would lower it. Prioritize patching for internet-exposed, multi-tenant, or many-user ERPNext deployments where low-privilege accounts are common or self-registration is possible. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds (or phishes/registers) a low-privilege ERPNext account sends specially crafted input to one of the affected endpoints, where missing input validation lets attacker-controlled data alter the backend SQL query. By iterating injected payloads, the attacker reads records beyond their authorization - such as financial, customer, or HR data - effectively turning a limited account into a database read oracle. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the low attack complexity (AC:L) means a motivated authenticated user could develop a working payload with standard SQLi techniques. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
Authenticated SQL injection in Frappe ERPNext (before 15.106.0 and 16.x before 16.16.0) allows a low-privilege logged-in user to inject crafted input into several endpoints that build database queries without adequate validation, exposing sensitive data stored in the ERPNext database. The assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, vendor score 7.1) confirms high confidentiality impact with no inherent integrity or availability effect, and authentication is mandatory, so risk is concentrated where low-privilege accounts are widely issued, self-registration is enabled, or instances are internet-facing. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, though the breadth of affected endpoints and the presence of a public GitHub security advisory make the issue operationally relevant for exposed, multi-tenant deployments.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to the fixed releases: ERPNext 15.106.0 or later on the 15.x line, and 16.16.0 or later on the 16.x line - Vendor-released patch: 15.106.0 and 16.16.0. Consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/security/advisories/GHSA-h68p-2phh-vh26 for the authoritative upgrade guidance and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/frappe-erpnext-before-15.106.0-sql-injection-via-missing-validation-2 for version confirmation. Until patching is complete, apply compensating controls targeted at the mandatory PR:L precondition: revoke or tightly scope low-privilege and service accounts that do not need access to the affected endpoints, and disable self-registration so outside parties cannot mint the session the attack requires (trade-off: this disrupts legitimate onboarding flows and any integration accounts relying on those roles). Restrict network reachability of ERPNext - place it behind VPN or an allowlist rather than exposing it directly to the internet, accepting reduced remote-access convenience for staff. Enable and review application and database query logging to detect anomalous statements from low-privilege users, and consider a WAF rule set targeting SQL metacharacters on ERPNext request paths, recognizing that signature filtering is bypassable and must not be treated as a substitute for the upgrade. Importantly, because the assessed impact is data disclosure only (no integrity or availability effect), be sure to review audit logs and consider notification obligations for data that may already have been read.

Technical ContextAI · show details
ERPNext is the flagship ERP application built on the Frappe framework, a Python/JavaScript stack whose data layer is normally mediated by DocType metadata and the frappe.db API. CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) applies here: the affected endpoints pass request-supplied input into SQL query construction without sufficient validation or parameter binding, allowing an attacker to reshape the resulting statement. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:frappe:erpnext:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the flaw is version-bound to the ERPNext application rather than to a downstream database engine, meaning the fix lives in ERPNext's endpoint handlers. Because the bug is read-oriented per the assessed vector (VC:H with VI:N and VA:N), the practical exposure is query manipulation for data extraction - reading tables the requesting user should not be able to see - rather than statement execution, data destruction, or denial of service. The description's reference to 'multiple endpoints' implies more than one request handler shares the same missing-validation pattern, so partial patching or endpoint-by-endpoint filtering is insufficient; the version-level fix is the reliable remedy.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Frappe ERPNext before 15.106.0 and 16.x before 16.16.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in multiple endpoints caused by missing input validation. Authenticated attackers can send specially crafted requests to these endpoints to manipulate database queries and extract sensitive information from the ERPNext database.

Executive ViewAI
Frappe ERPNext instances running versions below 15.106.0, or 16.x below 16.16.0, are exposed to a high-severity database injection flaw that allows any authenticated low-privilege user to read sensitive records held in the ERP platform, including financial, customer, and operational data. The exposure concentrates in organizations that issue accounts broadly, permit self-registration, or operate internet-facing and multi-tenant deployments, making this a data-confidentiality and compliance concern rather than a purely technical defect. Leadership should care because the data at risk is core business data, and the attack path requires only a legitimate user account rather than sophisticated external access.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include disabling self-registration, restricting low-privilege account issuance, limiting internet exposure of ERPNext endpoints, enforcing MFA and least-privilege roles, applying WAF/reverse-proxy filtering on affected endpoints, reducing database service account privileges, and monitoring logs for anomalous query patterns from low-privilege users.
