CVE-2025-56380 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the Frappe Framework version 15.72.4. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'fieldname' parameter in the API endpoint frappe.client.get_value. This endpoint is designed to retrieve specific field values from the backend database. By crafting a malicious script and injecting it into the 'fieldname' parameter, an attacker can manipulate the underlying SQL query executed by the application. This manipulation can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or potentially executing arbitrary SQL commands on the database server. Since the vulnerability is located in an API endpoint, it is likely accessible over the network, increasing the risk of remote exploitation. The lack of a CVSS score and absence of known exploits in the wild suggest that this vulnerability is newly disclosed and may not yet be actively exploited. However, the nature of SQL injection vulnerabilities inherently poses a significant risk due to their ability to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The Frappe Framework is an open-source full-stack web application framework primarily used for building ERPNext and other business applications, which often handle sensitive business data. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or disruption of services relying on the framework.

For European organizations using the Frappe Framework, particularly those deploying ERPNext or custom business applications built on this framework, this vulnerability could have serious consequences. Unauthorized access to sensitive business data such as financial records, customer information, or operational data could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Data integrity could be compromised, affecting business operations and decision-making. Additionally, attackers could disrupt services by manipulating or deleting critical data, leading to downtime and operational losses. Given the framework's use in various sectors including manufacturing, retail, and services, the impact could be widespread. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for organizations to proactively patch or mitigate the vulnerability before attackers develop weaponized exploits. However, the potential for remote exploitation without user interaction increases the urgency for European organizations to address this vulnerability promptly to avoid data breaches and operational disruptions.

European organizations should immediately identify all instances of Frappe Framework version 15.72.4 or earlier in their environments. Since no official patch links are provided yet, organizations should monitor the Frappe Framework's official repositories and security advisories for updates or patches addressing CVE-2025-56380. In the interim, organizations can implement the following mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the frappe.client.get_value API endpoint through network segmentation, firewall rules, or API gateways to limit exposure to trusted users and systems only. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'fieldname' parameter. 3) Conduct code reviews and apply input validation and sanitization on parameters accepted by the API to prevent injection attacks. 4) Implement database-level protections such as least privilege access for the application database user to minimize damage in case of exploitation. 5) Monitor logs for unusual or suspicious API requests that could indicate attempted exploitation. 6) Prepare incident response plans specific to SQL injection attacks to enable rapid containment and remediation. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate containment and layered defenses until an official patch is released.
