CVE-2025-59421 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-770, which pertains to the allocation of resources without proper limits or throttling. This specific issue affects 'press,' a custom application developed by Frappe that operates within the Frappe Cloud ecosystem. The application manages critical functions such as infrastructure, subscription services, marketplace operations, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to repeatedly send duplicate invitation messages to a user's inbox, effectively flooding it. This can lead to resource exhaustion on the client side, potentially degrading user experience or causing denial of service conditions for the affected user. The vulnerability is present in all versions of the 'press' app prior to the commit identified by hash 83c3fc7676c5dbbe1fd5092d21d95a10c7b48615, where the issue has been fixed. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.7, indicating a low severity level, primarily because the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges or user interaction, and impacts availability at a limited scope without compromising confidentiality or integrity. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time, and no patch links were provided, but the fix is available in the specified commit. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, which slightly increases its risk profile, but the impact remains low due to the nature of the attack (inbox flooding) and limited scope of damage.

For European organizations using the Frappe 'press' application, the primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential for denial of service at the user inbox level. This could disrupt normal business operations by overwhelming users with duplicate invites, leading to reduced productivity and possible operational delays. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise sensitive data confidentiality or integrity, the resource exhaustion could indirectly affect service availability and user trust. Organizations relying on Frappe Cloud for SaaS management or marketplace operations might experience minor disruptions, especially if multiple users are targeted simultaneously. Given the low severity and absence of known exploits, the immediate risk is limited; however, persistent exploitation could degrade service quality and user experience. European entities with compliance obligations around service availability and user experience should consider this impact in their risk assessments.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should ensure that their Frappe 'press' application instances are updated to include the fix from commit 83c3fc7676c5dbbe1fd5092d21d95a10c7b48615 or later. Beyond applying the patch, organizations should implement rate limiting and throttling mechanisms on invitation sending functionality to prevent abuse through repeated requests. Monitoring and alerting on unusual spikes in invitation traffic can help detect exploitation attempts early. Additionally, applying application-layer firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block repetitive invite requests can provide an extra layer of defense. User inbox management policies, such as spam filtering and automated duplicate detection, can reduce the impact on end users. Finally, organizations should review and tighten access controls and API usage policies to limit exposure to unauthenticated request flooding.
