Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Monitor Frappe’s official channels for security patches addressing CVE-2025-11461 and apply them promptly once released. 2. Until patches are available, restrict external network access to Frappe CRM instances using firewalls and VPNs to limit exposure. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and prevention rules tailored to Frappe CRM traffic patterns. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user inputs, especially those interacting with SQL queries, to prevent injection vectors. 5. Review and refactor the Dashboard Controller code to replace dynamic SQL concatenation with parameterized queries or prepared statements. 6. Perform regular security audits and penetration testing focused on injection flaws in CRM applications. 7. Educate developers on secure coding practices and the risks of SQL Injection vulnerabilities. 8. Maintain comprehensive logging and monitoring to detect suspicious database query patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 9. Consider isolating CRM databases and enforcing least privilege access controls to limit damage in case of compromise.

Description

Multiple SQL Injections in Frappe CRM Dashboard Controller due to unsafe concatenation of user-controlled parameters into dynamic SQL statements. This issue affects Frappe CRM: 1.53.1.

Impact

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-11461 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer and business data stored within Frappe CRM databases, severely impacting confidentiality. This could result in data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and potential financial penalties. Although integrity and availability impacts are rated as none, attackers might still manipulate data or extract large volumes of information, undermining trust in CRM data accuracy. Organizations relying heavily on Frappe CRM for customer management, sales, and support will face operational risks if attackers leverage this vulnerability. The ease of remote exploitation without user interaction increases the threat level, especially for externally accessible CRM instances. Given the critical role of CRM data in business operations, the vulnerability could also facilitate further lateral movement or targeted attacks within affected networks.

Summary

CVE-2025-11461 is a SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89, discovered in Frappe CRM version 1.53.1. The root cause is the unsafe concatenation of user-supplied input directly into dynamic SQL queries within the Dashboard Controller component. This improper neutralization of special SQL elements allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network with low privileges, increasing its risk profile. The 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) indicates high confidentiality impact, no impact on integrity or availability, and no scope change. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the widespread use of Frappe CRM in managing customer relationship data. The lack of an official patch at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate mitigation steps to prevent exploitation. The vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices such as parameterized queries and input sanitization in CRM software development.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
