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.

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.

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.
