CVE-2026-109673: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in frappe erpnext
Description
CVE-2026-109673 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Frappe ERPNext affecting versions before 15.103.0 and 16.x before 16.12.0. The flaw arises because certain record names are not properly neutralized when displayed on dashboards, tools, and portals. Authenticated attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious record names that execute scripts in other users' browsers. This can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, and token theft, particularly impacting privileged users.

Technical Analysis
Frappe ERPNext versions prior to 15.103.0 and 16.0.0-beta.1 up to but excluding 16.12.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input when rendering record names on some dashboards, tools, and portals. Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via crafted record names, which execute in the browsers of other users viewing these records. This vulnerability can be leveraged to access or modify data and steal authentication tokens, posing a significant risk especially to users with elevated privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users' browsers, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, and theft of authentication tokens. The impact is heightened for privileged users who may have broader access within the ERPNext system.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in ERPNext versions 15.103.0 and 16.12.0 and later. Users should upgrade to these versions or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the vendor's official patches. Patch status is confirmed by the affectedVersions data indicating fixed versions.
