CVE-2026-44440: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in frappe erpnext
ERPNext is a free and open source Enterprise Resource Planning tool. Prior to 15.101.1 and 16.10.0, an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability on an endpoint allows an authenticated adjacent attacker to read arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.101.1 and 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 bypass pathname restrictions and read arbitrary files on the system via a vulnerable endpoint. The issue 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, and high confidentiality impact without integrity or availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authentication and network adjacency can read arbitrary files on the affected system, potentially exposing sensitive information. There is no impact on integrity or availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
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, patching the affected software versions is required to remediate the issue. Patch status is not explicitly stated beyond the fixed versions, so verify with vendor advisories for the latest guidance.
