CVE-2026-44440: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in frappe erpnext
CVE-2026-44440 is a path traversal vulnerability in the ERPNext software by frappe. It allows an authenticated adjacent attacker to read arbitrary files by exploiting improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories. The issue affects versions prior to 15.101.1 and versions from 16.0.0-beta.1 up to but not including 16.10.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
ERPNext versions before 15.101.1 and between 16.0.0-beta.1 and 16.10.0 contain a CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability. This flaw allows an authenticated adjacent attacker to read arbitrary files on the system by bypassing pathname restrictions on a vulnerable endpoint. The vulnerability is resolved in ERPNext versions 15.101.1 and 16.10.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact without integrity or availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation permits an authenticated adjacent attacker to read arbitrary files on the affected system, potentially exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade ERPNext to version 15.101.1 or later, or to version 16.10.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying these official updates. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information. No other mitigations are indicated.
